Thus far the strain had made advance, When forth dark A-ga-yen-teh bounded, And joining in the stamping dance, His war-song too he loudly sounded. Then Yu-we-lon-doh at his back, And Ka-i-na-tra in his track, Ye-an-te-kah-noh following him, And then Ska-nux-heh fierce and grim, Till the first ring of Braves was springing Wildly around, all wildly singing ; Their limbs in strange contortions flinging, Plunging their knives, their hatchets swinging, Whilst rose the chaunt, and thrilled the yell, ...And on the post the war-club fell. THE COUNCIL. 197 XII. And now the mimic fight begun ; They strike, they scalp, they meet, they shun, They creep on the earth, and they bend on the knee, Tomahawk launching, and aiming fusee, Pealing their war-whoops, and striking their blows, As in eye to eye, hand to hand, strife with their foes ; The shake of the rattle, the drum s rapid beat, Blending with weapon clash, war-shout and feet ; Till, faint with exhaustion, they reel from the ring, Whilst others impatient, in place of them spring.
