Its sharpened edge will thirst to peel the skull
Of Narraganset foe;—and he, more strong,
Will wield a mightier weapon, and, more full
Of valor, help us guard ourselves from wrong;
Whilst many a soul he sends to join the ghosts
That cry for vengeance round Sowaniu’s coasts.
XXXVIII.
“On Seekonk’s marge—our battle-stained frontier—
His town will rise, and warlike will he feel;
The foe must pass him if he strike us here;
