There we shall be, we shall keep guard,
we shall await, we shall meet diverse peoples in battle.
With our bellies, with our heads,
with our arrows, with our shields,
we shall confront all who surround us
we shall vanquish [conquer] them all,
we shall make them our captives,
and thus our city shall be established.
Mexico Tenochtitlan:
where the eagle screeches,
where he spreads his wings,
where the eagle feeds,
where the fish fly,
and where the serpent is torn apart.
—The Cronica Mexicayotl
