XIII.

“The priest of Chepian and his comrade came

To fight the white man and his warrior brave;

The fox-eared demon sought for other game,

And went to filch it from the rocky cave;

My Sachem white a manittoo o’ercame,

To demon dark a fatal wound he gave;

Brave is my Sachem, for he nobly slew

What Waban dreaded most,—that fearful manittoo!”
