BRAVES. Yes, yes, yes!
(Pause.)
POWHATAN. Bind him to the ground, braves! Put his head on that stone there!
SMITH. Powhatan! I beg you—
POWHATAN. Take him, braves! Be ready with your war clubs!
[The braves throw Captain Smith on the ground, and stand over him with uplifted clubs. Enter POCAHONTAS. She runs to Captain Smith and kneels beside him, shielding his head with her arms. Enter WOMEN and CHILDREN.]
POCAHONTAS. You shall not kill him!
POWHATAN. My daughter! Come away!
POCAHONTAS. You shall not kill him! You shall not kill him!
