He said, " O Kapohn-yamu all !
No man for me shall fight, and fall By this proud boaster's hand !
148 LEGENDS AND MYTHS OF THE I here forbid my friends the fight : This hand, though weak, may do me right ; A fair field now command ! " Him no entreaties could dissuade.
" Tis better thus to die," he said, " Than see my people slain." So each, — with bow and arrows keen, And club, — is placed upon the green.
Few there from grief refrain — When the old man, upon the field, Lays down the club he onc...e could wield, But ne'er shall wield again, They see him but one arrow take, And, till his foe should onslaught make, There tranquilly remain.
Ekahruwa begins the fight : Shifting his ground from left to right, His well-aimed arrows fly.
Yet nothing by their flight he gains, For well that aged man retains The keenness of his eye.
Some with his bow he puts aside, From others swerves, and they go wide ; Till, with a savage cry, The strong man says, " My arrows sent Are from their course by sorcery bent !
