that blunders and falls into its pit.)

Bacchus, Ambrosius Venus,
Tulongandak!

Agsangit, agkatawa;
Langit ken daga.

It cries and laughs with heaven and earth.)

Puso ti tured.

Dakkel a bulan.

makes the moon sleep. )

Labaslabasan ti angin,
Agngil-ngilangil.
(Refers to good harvest:
Heavy panicles bow low,
ducking the passing wind.)

Panagbaliw ti lubong
Ni Rip Van Winkle.
(From Washington Irving's story,
Rip van Winkle, about a man
who slept for twenty long years
amid changes going on in the world.)
