Bersaudara-lah angkau dengan aku
’Kau-lah yang aku harap:
Pergi-lah ambil nyawa orang itu,
Bawa-lah pergi kamana-mana!
Jikalau ’kau ta’ mahu mengambil,
’Kau di-makan sumpah!
Karna apa sebab ’kau bersaudara dengan aku,
’Kau menunggoh[74] di pintu pagar aku.
[ccxl] Measurement of K’ris [p. [530].
1. Measure the k’ris from the bottom of the blade (in the centre) to the point with a thin strip of cocoa-nut leaf about half an inch wide. Cut the strip to this length and fold it trebly; notch one of the third parts at the fold; measure off the length of the two remaining thirds on the blade from the bottom towards the point, and mark the blade at this distance. Then measure off the remaining third round the blade at this mark as follows:—See that its extreme end exactly coincides with the left side of the blade, and stretch it across the blade at right angles, bending the strip of leaf round the edge at the exact spot reached on the opposite edge of the blade by making a dent but not severing the leaf. Then measure it a second time from the dent thus made, making a second dent on the strip at the point reached. Repeat this a third time, making a third dent, when the dent on the strip of leaf should be found to come exactly in the centre of the blade, if the blade is a good one.
