“Haup’s valiant Sachem is my brother’s friend,”

Red Waban answered; “and I come before

Him, and the train of Keenomps who attend

Him, coming here—our mightiest Sagamore—

To ask my brother that his aid he lend

’Gainst Narraganset’s hatchet stained with gore;

Miantonomi lifts it o’er his head,

Gives the loud whoop, and names our valiant dead.”
