Remember the arrows he shot from his bow,
Remember your chiefs by his hatchet laid low:
Why so slow?_do>ou wait 'till T shrink from the pain?
No, the son of Alknomook will never complain.
Remember the wood where in ambi'sh we lay,
And the scalps which we bore from jour nation away,"
Now the flame rises fast, you exult in my pain.
But the son of Alknomook can never complain.
I go to the land where my father is gone,
His ghost shall rejoice in the. .fame of his son:
Death comes like a friend, he relieves me from pain;
And thy son, O Alknomook, has scorn'd to complain.
