THE COUNSEL OF BALEKA.
I rose, I praised the king with a loud voice, and I went from the Intunkulu, the house of the king.

I walked slowly through the gates, but when I was without the gates the anguish that took me because of my burnt hand was more than I could bear.

I ran to and fro groaning till I came to the hut of one whom I knew.

There I found fat, and having plunged my hand in the fat, I wrapped it round with a skin and passed out again, for I could not stay still.
