_Hymn to Macuilxochitl._

1. Yes, I shall go there to-night, to the house of flowers; I shall
exercise the priestly office to-night.

2. We labor in thy house, our mother, from dawn unto night, fulfilling
the priestly office, laboring in the night.

3. A dreadful god is our god Tezcatlipoca, he is the only god, he will
answer us.

4. His heart is in the Tezcatzontli; my god is not timid like a hare
nor is he peaceable; I shall overturn, I shall penetrate the Mixcoatepec
in Colhuacan.

5. I sing, I play on an instrument, I am the noble instrument, the
mirror; I am he who lifts the mirror; I cry aloud, intoxicated with the
wine of the tuna.

_Notes._

As before stated (Notes to Hymn VIII), Macuilxochitl is another title of
the flower-god Xochipilli.
