2nd Chief.
Frenchmen would always hear an Indian speak,
And answer fair, and make good Promises.
Cockum.
You may be d——d, and all your Frenchmen too.
Ponteach.
Be d——d! what's that? I do not understand.
Cockum.
The Devil teach you; he'll do it without a Fee.
Ponteach.
The Devil teach! I think you one great Fool.
Did your King tell you thus to treat the Indians?
Had he been such a Dunce he ne'er had conquer'd,
And made the running French for Quarter cry.
I always mind that such proud Fools are Cowards,
And never do aught that is great or good.
