For they were vanquished in the combat fair.

LIV.

“Brother! we take thy calumet of peace,

And throw the hatchet into quiet shade;

The Wampanoag’s terrors may surcease,

And thou mayst plant on Seekonk’s eastern glade;

But hearken, brother!—better far would please

Thy council fire if by Mooshausick made;

But pass we that; for well our brother knows

To live our friend surrounded by our foes.
