Then scattered wampum mid the warriors all;
On Miantonomi’s lofty brow he set,
Round waving plumes, the jeweled coronal;
The scarlet coat the elder potentate
Most trimly graced, and gave delight withal;
Then ribbons gave he, various their hue,
To counsellors and Keenomps, bold and true.

With Waban guiding, through the forest lone;
