Spurned from his home, by Christian men opprest,
Must he the warrior’s weapon turn, his hand
Unnerve, and gently o’er his rugged breast
Gain mastery. The panther by the hare
Must be approached and softened in his lair.
XXXIX.
That night, returning from the accustomed pool,
Came Waban laden with the beavers’ spoils,
And joy seemed dancing in his very soul
