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

VI
SONG OF HAYO-WENT-HA,
HE is greatest who is wisest.
Love replies
:
Not enough for Hayo-went-ha
To be wise ;
What by precept, my People !
I can give,
Have I taught you ; by example
Would I teach you how to live.
He that wisest is is greatest :
Yet on all,
Howsoever high or lowly,
Sorrows fall ;
To be great is to be lonely ;
Where is she,
Lovely Kax-a, beauteous maiden
Hayo-went-ha's bride to be ?
