 KALIAKONDI.

would that I were a bird that I might fly that I might go

And look to the Franks on the island of unfortunate Itheka

That I might hear Loukenne, the life of Louke:

How she mourns and sheds black tears
As the partridge afflicts herself how she strips off her looks
Like the feathers of the crows - she has all her dress
At the window she sits and looks at the see
And as many ships as pass she puts question to
my vessels, my golden brigantines,
speed and come into the desert Baltos
ye know my husband Louke Kaliakonda?
left him yesterday in Gaurolin
was seated with a joint of lamb, had mutton on the spit
and five prisoners were turning the spit"
They had lamb and were supping
A young lamb Was cooking for him on a spit
He on a loin of lamb was feasting, before the fire did roast
a sheep

Whilst five Wallaohien captive lasses the pitchfork spit did

turning keep.
