And on the isle he met With Kitpûsâgunâû, Whose mother had been slain By a fearful cannibal giant: Therefore, like Kulóskap, He warred through all his life Upon the monstrous race; From which it came to pass That they were loving friends, Which did not hinder them From a hearty, merry strife In which they barely missed Taking each other’s lives In the most good-natured way As ye shall hear anon.
