Enter Warriors.

We’ve broke the Barrier, burnt their Magazines,

Slew Hundreds of them,131 and pursu’d the rest

Quite to their Settlements.132

2d Warrior. There we took

Their famous Hunters Honnyman and Orsbourn;

65

The last is slain, this is his bloody Scalp.

[tossing it up.

With him we found the Guns of our lost Hunters,

And other Proofs that they’re the Murderers;

Nay Honnyman confesses the base Deed,

And, boasting, says, he’d kill’d a Score of Indians.

3d Warrior. This is the bloody Hunter: This his Wife;

[leading them forward, pinioned and tied together.

With Two young Brats that will be like their Father.

We took them in their Nest, and spoil’d their Dreams.

Philip. Oh I could eat their Hearts, and drink their Blood,

Were they not Poison, and unfit for Dogs.

75

Here, you Blood-hunter, have you lost your Feeling?

You Tygress Bitch! You Breeder up of Serpents!

[slapping Honnyman in the Face, and kicking his Wife.

Ponteach. Stop—We must first consult which Way to torture,

And whether all shall die—We will retire.133

Philip, going.

Take care they don’t escape.

Warrior. They’re bound secure.

80

[Exeunt Indians; manent Prisoners.
