Daragus 2

-Si Agus-



8 Isang hamak na mangingisda

Itong si Agus na makisig at masigla



9 Mga magulang niya'y kaytagal nang payapa

Kaya natutong mamuhay mag-isa



10 Gamit ang mga gawang-kamay nito –

Lambat, sibat, panggaid at isang baroto



11 Sa ‘di pangkaraniwang palad ay kasinggulang niya

Ang natatanging prinsesa ng bayan nila



12 Lingid sa kanyang kaalaman

Si Dara ay lagi siyang pinagmamasdan



13 Halinang-halina sa binatang kaygwapo

Dagdag pa ang katawang matipuno



14 Minsan naring natikman ng dalaga

Ang mga huling lamang-dagat ng binata.
