Daniel G. Brinton - Rig Veda Americanus - Part 17 lyrics

Hymn to Tezcatzoncatl Totochtin. 1. Alas! alas! alas! alas! alas! alas! 2. In the home of our ancestors this creature was a fearful thing. 3. In the temple of Tezcatzoncatl he aids those who cry to him, he gives them to drink; the god gives to drink to those who cry to him. 4. In the temple by the water-reeds the god aids those who call upon him, he gives them to drink; the god aids those who cry unto him.
