Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 7, sentence 52

Now as the mighty Lord of Men and Beasts Had never married, nor had had a child, The art of nursing or of managing Such little ones was all unknown to him; And therefore he was sure, as all such folk Invariably are, be they or maids Or blooming bachelors, that he at least Knew all about it and would have his way, And make the young obey him.

Who acts: art, child, man, young · What happens: not marry, have, nurse, manage, be, bloom · To what, where: Such little ones, man, deeds, bachelors, way
