2. 2 pre-colonial tanaga. Identify their content. (10 pts.)

I point this to our own art

Where repute was took apart
So now this wish, I impart,
May it be fond to your heart!

On my own understanding on this tanaga, it talks about the revival of literary

works particularly to tanaga. Tanaga was forgotten by a lot of people and the
author’s message he or she wish that we love it in our hearts again.

Why have these joyless tears been

On both of my lips so blue?
Poet has something hidden
And a muse must be the clue.

In my own understanding on this tanaga, it tells about confusion or clueless on

something. He or she asks of why he or she in tears and he or she thinks that
the poet has a secret and the muse must have the clue to his confusion.
