The death of the lion seemed 10 awak-
en- an the fire in the warriors blood
They began n dance of triumph
around the body waving their blood
stained spears, some of which were
bent by the force of the shock, hold
ing their shields above their heads
and shouting forth blood curdling yells
In the eNcess Of their Joy.
