And first the Indians, the red sort, owned it,

But later to Uncle Sam they loaned it,

Who afterwards made no bones, but boned it

In the fine Autolycus way;

And though life wasn't a matter vital

He kept with the lake its rasping title,

Which recalls the croak of an amorous frog

Or a siren heard in an ocean fog:

Chagogagog-munchogagog-chabun-agungamog!
