I live in other mothers, child – swim child, swim
I live in other mothers, child – flee, child, flee
I live in other mothers, child – dive, child, dive
I live in other mothers, child – cry, child, cry

Flee, child, flee!

Cry!

– The Last Song of Eona, Canto 15, #1 (“Flee”)

Rock-a-bye babies, on the sea top,
When the wind blows their vessels shall rock.
When their bows break, their vessels shall fall,
And down will come vessels, their babies and all.

If they hack at the coral, child, kill them.

– Song of the Alpha of Alphas, Canto 15, #2 (“Babies”)
