I enjoyed nothing more than these performances; and my mother, who witnessed several of them during one of her visits, afterwards said that it was surprising how well we had managed the affair and acted our parts.

The feast is spread in the ancestral temple. The place where happiness and dignity descend. The personators of your ancestors feast and drink; Their happiness and dignity are at the highest point. The wild-ducks and widgeons are in the gorge; The personators of your ancestors rest, full of complacency. The fine spirits are delicious; Your meat, roast and broiled, is fragrant.
There were two buildings outside the principal gate leading to the ancestral temple, and two corresponding inside, in which the personators of the departed ancestors were feasted.
He then proceeded to draw more spirits from one of the vases of supply, and an attendant came in and filled other cups, we may suppose for all the other personators. This was called 'the cup of repose or comfort; and the sacrifice was thus concluded, in all sobriety and decency.
Upon the completion of the toilets of the personators of the gods they hurried from the lodge, bearing their masks with them, when an attendant made a cavity immediately in front of the rug 4 inches in diameter, and the song priest sprinkled a circle of meal around the cavity. The invalid entered the lodge and stood on the rug and removed all of his clothing except the breech cloth.
