Legends of the Northwest, Heyóka Wacípee [16]--the Giant's Dance., sentence 132

They feasted on rib of the bison fat, On the tongue of the Ta [41] that the hunters prize, On the savory flesh of the red Hogân, [42] On sweet tipsânna [43] and pemmican, And the dun-brown cakes of the golden maize; And hour after hour the young chief sat, And feasted his soul on the maiden's eyes.

Who acts: lilies, hunters, hour · What happens: feast, prize, sit · To what, where: brown cakes, savory flesh, soul, eyes
