And conquer safety through resistless might.
LVIII.
“This question seeks the Sachem’s plain reply:
Takes he the pipe—lays he the axe aside?
Have I his peace, or does he peace deny,
Nor in my honest counsels aught confide?
Still chooses he the doubtful strife to try,
And brave the Yengees with his foes allied?
Say—can he listen to an exiled man,
Whose words and deeds might still befriend his clan?”
