Daniel G. Brinton - Rig Veda Americanus - Part 1 lyrics

The Hymn of Huitzilopochtli. 1. Huitzilopochtli is first in rank, no one, no one is like unto him: not vainly do I sing (his praises) coming forth in the garb of our ancestors; I shine; I glitter. 2. He is a terror to the Mixteca; he alone destroyed the Picha-Huasteca, he conquered them. 3. The Dart-Hurler is an example to the city, as he sets to work. He who commands in battle is called the representative of my God. 4. When he shouts aloud he inspires great terror, the divine hurler, the god turning himself in the combat, the divine hurler, the god turning himself in the combat. 5. Amanteca, gather yourselves together with me in the house of war against your enemies, gather yourselves together with me. 6. Pipiteca, gather yourselves together with me in the house of war against your enemies, gather yourselves together with me.
