QUEEN MÓO'S TALISMAN.

I see that war upon us thou wilt bring,
And finally, thyself proclaim as king.
Afflicted Móo will feel thy cruel ire;
Thus wilt thou weave for thee a fate most dire.
Myself, thy elder brother, thou'lt degrade;
Cans' dynasty shall fall, by thee betrayed."

Thus forth from royal city Aac was sent,
Empowered on native soil where'er he went,
To live in princely state, with means endowed,
While unto law and Sovereign's will he bowed.
