The Hymn of Atlaua

Daniel G. Brinton, 1890 · 6 verses · Read at the source

18.1I Chalmecatl, I Chalmecatl, I leave behind my sandles, I leave my sandles and my helmet.

18.2Go ye forth and follow the goddess Quilaztli, follow her

18.3I shall call upon thee to arise when among the shields, I shall call upon thee to arise.

18.4I boast of my arrows, even my reed arrows, I boast of my arrows, not to be broken.

18.5Arrayed in priestly garb, take the arrow in thy hand, for even now I shall arise and come forth like the quetzal bird.

18.6Mighty is my god Atlaua; truly I shall arise and come forth like the quetzal bird.
