LXXVIII.

While thus they spake, the sun declining low,
  In Narraganset's shades, half veiled his light;
On rapid pinions did the dark winged crow
  And broad plumed eagle speed their homeward flight;
Warned by the signs, the twain, descending slow,
  In converse grave, pass down the wooded height;
And, in the Sachem's sylvan palace, share
Respite from hunger, toil, and present care.
