Folk-lore in Borneo

by William Henry Furness

Now my little one sleep,

For the black house-lizard, with glittering eye,

And the gray-haired Laki Laieng are nigh!

Sleep, dear little one, sleep!

For those philologically inclined I append the original:—

Lung koh madang Manoh

Migieong ujong Baiyo

Mensip anak Yap

Lamate Telyap, Telyap abing,
