Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 11, sentence 23
And then the Master was enraged indeed, That a vile witch should dare to play such tricks With him, the mighty Lord of Beasts and Men; And, driving the canoe unto the beach, He leaped ashore, and giving it a push He sent it headlong out to sea again, And cried: “Sail with the devil if you will, But ne’er on earth again in human form!”
Who acts: That, Lord · What happens: enrage, dare, play, drive, leap, give · To what, where: Master, human form, such tricks, canoe, push, Sail
