And high rewards my brother shall requite.

LVIII.

“Oft have I heard my hunter name with pride

His long, deep, hollow, arrow-winged canoe;

Now drag her from the fern to Seekonk’s tide,

And bid her skim once more the waters blue;

She loves to rove, and we must far and wide

Seek other forests for a dwelling new;

Our toils here end; a cloud from Wamponand

Hangs o’er our glade, and blackens all the land.”
