Legends of the Northwest, The Feast of the Virgins., part 1, sentence 95

Undaunted the braves of Wakâwa's band Jumped into the thicket with lance and knife, And grappled the Chippewas hand to hand; And foe with foe, in the deadly strife, Lay clutching the scalp of his foe and dead, With a tomahawk sunk in his ghastly head, Or his still heart sheathing a bloody blade.

Who acts: Undaunted braves, deadly strife, heart · What happens: jump, grapple, clutch, sink, sheath · To what, where: band, thicket, Chippewas hand, scalp, tomahawk, ghastly head
