And meet his foemen, face to face⁠—

For there red Uncas lived that day

The last of all his race!

Hark! from the covert now they spring,

They see him as he towers alone

And many arrows round him ring,

Yet still he seems like stone!

Unstirred, with folded arms he views

Each warrior that his life pursues,

Unscathed beneath the sudden wrath
