Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 4, sentence 26
Then in sorrow too, And yet in anger grim, Up the Lord arose, Rose all in his might, And plucking up a fern, Sought in the deep dark wood For Malsumsis the Wolf: And having found him there Smote him a single blow; Down fell the demon dead.
Who acts: Lord · What happens: arise, rise, pluck up, seek, have, find · To what, where: fern, deep dark wood, Lord, demon, sorrow
