"Now, would not you think she's going? but, egad, you're mistaken; you shall hear a long argument about infallibility before she stir yet:

But here the White, by observation wise,

Who long on heaven had fixed her prying eyes,

With thoughtful countenance, and grave remark,

Said, "Or my judgment fails me, or 'tis dark;

Lest, therefore, we should stray, and not go right,

Through the brown horror of the starless night,

Hast thou Infallibility, that wight?"

Sternly the savage grinned, and thus replied,

"That mice may err, was never yet denied."
