Page:Song of Hiawatha (1855).djvu/234



of wrath was Hiawatha

When he came into the village,

Found the people in confusion,

Heard of all the misdemeanors,

All the malice and the mischief,

Of the cunning Pau-Puk-Keewis.

Hard his breath came through his nostrils,

Through his teeth he buzzed and muttered

Words of anger and resentment,

Hot and humming, like a hornet.

"I will slay this Pau-Puk-Keewis,

Slay this mischief-maker!" said he.
