Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 12, sentence 86

Then feeling that his power Of magic was returning, He used his mighty will, And the will awoke to might, And before his breath the sorceress Was driven backward lightly, Like a leaf before the wind Till her back was against a tree; Then he said to her, “Remain Ever attached to the bark,” And so indeed she remained, Though not as the Master meant.

Who acts: sorceress, power, mighty, Master · What happens: feel, return, use, awoke, drive, be · To what, where: sorceress, breath, mighty · Speech: someone speaks here
