      THAT HE SANG AT THE COUNCIL ROCK WHEN HE
     DANCED ON SHERE KHAN’S HIDE
 
     The Song of Mowgli—I, Mowgli, am singing.  Let the jungle
        listen to the things I have done.
 
     Shere Khan said he would kill—would kill!  At the gates in the
        twilight1 he would kill Mowgli, the Frog!
 
     He ate and he drank.  Drink deep, Shere Khan, for when wilt2 thou
        drink again?  Sleep and dream of the kill.
 
     I am alone on the grazing-grounds.  Gray Brother, come to me!
        Come to me, Lone3 Wolf, for there is big game afoot!
 
     Bring up the great bull buffaloes4, the blue-skinned herd5 bulls
        with the angry eyes.  Drive them to and fro as I order.
 
     Sleepest thou still, Shere Khan?  Wake, oh, wake!  Here come I,
        and the bulls are behind.
 
     Rama, the King of the Buffaloes, stamped with his foot.  Waters of
        the Waingunga, whither went Shere Khan?
 
     He is not Ikki to dig holes, nor Mao, the Peacock, that he should
        fly.  He is not Mang the Bat, to hang in the branches.  Little
        bamboos that creak together, tell me where he ran?
 
     Ow!  He is there.  Ahoo!  He is there.  Under the feet of Rama
        lies the Lame6 One!  Up, Shere Khan!
 
     Up and kill!  Here is meat; break the necks of the bulls!
