“Brother! we grant thee quiet neighborhood,—

The tree of peace o’ershadows thee and me;

And thou mayst hunt in Narraganset’s wood,

And catch the fish that in our waters be;

But thou must still promote the red man’s good,

Keep bright his belt, and make thy counsels free

When danger darkens;—and if this be done,

I am thy father, thou shalt be my son.”

LVII.
