Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 6, sentence 30

So they sailed ever on Over a sunlit sea, And yet it was not long Ere the elf-gifted one Saw rising ’mid the waves A dark and curious form, That of a monstrous beast Fast-coming as a foe, And then they knew it was The Giant Beaver, called Kwâbît, in fearful rage; But when the mighty one Saw this, he sailed direct Even at the monster’s jaws, And, coming to him, said: “Lo, I am the great foe Of all thy race and called The Beaver-Hunter; I, Am he who butchers them; Full many a one ere now Has perished by my hand.”

Who acts: lungs, flood, long Ere, That, mighty one, Ere · What happens: sail, be, gift, see, rise, come · To what, where: many, sunlit sea, long Ere, Giant Beaver, fearful rage, this · Speech: someone speaks here
