Galazi sat on the lap of the Stone Witch Greysnout whined at his side

I have made me a mat of men to sleep on... Victory! Victory!

A rush, a light of downward falling steel.

That was the end of Dingaan, my father

Nada the Lily

I swear it, O King! I swear it by thy head

Oh! my father, I thought you dead

I did up the bundle fast— fast

How are you named, who are so fair?

O! people of the Langeni tribe... I am avenged upon you.

And so, farewell.

Baleka looked up, and gave a cry of fear.

He ran in upon her and smote her on the head.

Now I knew that I had no more to fear, for I was king of the ghost-wolves

Then it quivered, and was still for ever.

Wife of a dog of a Zulu... Begone!

I smell out the Heavens above me.

He lifted the spear... and drove it down between the shoulders.

Then the old man told him the tale that is set out here.
