The conclusion attributed to the nameless lady of the legendwould be reached to-day, under the like circumstances, by ninety per cent ofPolynesians: and here I probably understate by one-tenth.
{1p} See note "1o" above.
THE FEAST OF FAMINEMARQUESAN MANNERS I. THE PRIEST'S VIGIL In all the land of the tribe was neither fish nor fruit, And the deepest pit of popoi stood empty to the foot. {2a}The clans upon the left and the clans upon the rightNow oiled their carven maces and scoured their dagger...s bright;They gat them to the thicket, to the deepest of the shade, And lay with sleepless eyes in the deadly ambuscade. And oft in the starry even the song of morning rose, What time the oven smoked in the country of their foes;For oft to loving hearts, and waiting ears and sight, The lads that went to forage returned not with the night. Now first the children sickened, and then the women paled, And the great arms of the warrior no more for war availed. Hushed was the deep drum, discarded was the dance;And those that met the priest now glanced at him askance.
