Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 8, sentence 54

And when he wore the girdle Mikchik became so young And so bewitchingly handsome That never a man or woman In the land had seen the like; And as the Master arrayed him In garments of great splendor, He also gave him his word That, as a man, he ever Should be of men the comeliest, And as animal, hardest to kill, Most vital and enduring, As it truly came to pass.

Who acts: many, That, Master, word · What happens: wear, become, see, array, give, be · To what, where: girdle, like, many, garments, word
