The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898

PREFACE
76/239

The intercalary stanza was: Now we can speak aloud, And without fear; We can cry aloud to all the world, Without misgiving.
The dancers repeated this aloud three times, and then danced with their timbrels in their hands until they were exhausted.

Last of all came the most holy Virgin of the conception.

The procession reached the cathedral and the fiesta was held.

In the afternoon they presented a very devout drama, on the martyrs of Japon.
On Tuesday the fiesta of St.Augustine began.

In the morning this order likewise had a very grand procession, in which the soldiery led, as on Monday.
