Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 11, sentence 2
Again he sang his song, And once again a whale Carried him far away, Away unto the North; And now he found indeed That he had gained his end, Since by the shore he saw A wigwam, and therein His sorrowing grandmother And Marten well-nigh dead; Winpe the sorcerer Had treated them full ill.
