Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 8, sentence 42
When he came to Piktook, A town of a hundred wigwams, Kulóskap being a handsome And very stately warrior With the air of a great chief, Was greatly admired by all, Especially the women; So that every one felt honored Whose wigwam he deigned to enter; Yet he saw the folk very seldom, And dwelt with old uncle Mikchik Delighting in his fancies, Quaint ways and old time stories, Very old songs of the fathers; Such things were the joy of his heart.
Who acts: Master, Was, Such things, fathers · What happens: come, be, admire, honor, deign, enter · To what, where: Piktook, handsome warrior, women, one, wigwam, folk
