Cut step katun.
There will be sought;
There will be found
The word of one divine lord
To improve the town.
There will be no darts of Foxes;
There will be no Lions;
There will be no Weasels;
There will be no darts of the nobility.
Pulled
Are the claws of the Lions
Who lived on the land,
Who lived in the country.
This was the thirteenth fold
Of the divider 12 Ahau again.
