111: Palm Fibre, the Flame

1

Perish the hands of the Father of Flame! Perish he!

2

No profit to him from all his wealth, and all his gains!

3

Burnt soon will he be in a Fire of Blazing Flame!

4

His wife shall carry the (crackling) wood - As fuel!-

5

A twisted rope of palm-leaf fibre round her (own) neck!
