Legends of the Northwest, Heyóka Wacípee [16]--the Giant's Dance., sentence 21

Proud was the chief of his warriors proud, The sinewy sons of the Giant's race; But the bravest of all was the tall Red Cloud; The eyes of the panther were set in his face; He strode like a stag and he stood like a pine; Ten feathers he wore at the great Wanmdeé; [13] With crimsoned quills of the porcupine His leggins were worked to his brawny knee.

Who acts: Proud, chief, porcupine · What happens: be, set, stride, stand, wear, crimson · To what, where: chief, tall Red Cloud, eyes, face, Ten feathers, great Wanmdeé
