The league of the Iroquois and other legends : from the Indian muse

u I do not like such daring bold ;
SHIN-GE-BIS.
He, Shin-ge-bis, so bold and free,
Was duck or man, as he might please ;
Him, in his barky wigwam, He,
Kabi-bonok-ka, could not freeze ;
But four small logs the winter through
Had he to burn to keep him warm ;
Yet stout of heart, no fear he knew
Laughed at the Winter's raging storm.
The Windy God
the North Wind cold
u
Who is the wondrous man ?" said he :
This Shin-ge-bis must mastered be ;
I high will pile the drifting snow,
Will freeze the lakes the rivers fast ;
Will bid the mighty tempests blow,
And with a tenfold fiercer blast. 1 '
