[Aztlan] Aztec Poetry and Songs

[D. M. Urquidi]

Folks:

This same poem is in Volume I Appendix VI 1-2, of

Sahagun, B. d. (1956). Historia General de Las Cosas de Nueva España. 
México, DF, México: Editorial Porrua, SA

the spelling is a bit different but note 27, refers to the Azec Handbook apparently. It says:  "En otra obra se da la version y commentario de estos cantos."

The lines are as follows:

> Inic matlactli onahvi parrapho ipan

         [not found]

               [The last paragraph of #1 is as follows:]

         NICAN MITOA ININ CUIC CATCA INTLATLACUTECULO
         inic quin maviztiliaia ininteupa, yoan in zan quiiaoac. (27 [see
