“Before this day have I been told

The deed that stained thy hands of old.

But pity bids my soul forget:

Thy father, murdered, claimed the debt.

My strength, O Chief, thou deemest slight,

Too feeble for a Warrior's might.

Now will I show thy wondering eyes

The prowess which they dare despise.”

He hastened then with graceful ease

That mighty bow and shaft to seize.
