This text of “Syair Kupu-Kupu” is a fable. Content of the text is a story about a very beautiful butterfly. Of many flowers he drank the nectar until the flowers were wilted. One day he met another butterfly (balang) beeing extraordinarily by appearance. Naturally, the first butterfly falls in love with the balang, but he doesn’t dare approach her because of her watchful brother. That’s why he has to stand his longing until his body was horribly slimmed. The text is arranged in columns (1 page contains 2 columns). |
