Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 7, sentence 8

And so they supped on beaver, And then they stayed for a week, Resting themselves in comfort, For all were sadly worn, And also utterly ragged; But then there came to pass A wonderful thing which showed That they were in fairy land, For the master said to the youth, “Go wash the mother’s face!”
