Whoop! for great Wabashaw!
He comes—beat drums—the Sioux chief comes.
"Hail to great Wabashaw!
Soldiers your triggers draw,
Guard,—wave the colours, and give him the drum!
Choctaw and Chickasaw,
Whoop for great Wabashaw!
Raise the port-cullis!—the King's friend is come."
By such demonstrations and enormous gifts, the Indians were held to the British standard.
