Powhatan with baffled look and stealthy stride

Sudden vanished from the room, leaving squaws.

Side by side the English stood with pointed weapons,

Eyes fixed on the open door whence swiftly came

Savage warriors rushing madly on their prey.

Fell the foremost dead; a second leaped and fell;

Halted all at smell of powder, sight of smoke,

Turned and fled with superstitions dread o'er-come.

Speedily arrived the sailors and the soldiers

Smith had summoned.

At his word a guard detailed

Watched the Indians while they carried to the barge

Baskets piled with corn, provisions dearly bought.
