Philip.

Philip.

He's gone to sound their Minds to Peace and War,

And learn who'll join the Hazards in his Cause.

The Fox, the Bear, the Eagle, Otter, Wolf,

And other valiant Princes of the Empire,

Have late resorted hither for some End

Of common Import. Time will soon reveal

Their secret Counsels and their fix'd Decrees.

Peace has its Charms for those who love their Ease,

But active Souls like mine delight in Blood.

Chekitan.

Chekitan.

Should War be wag'd, what Discords may we fear

Among ourselves? The powerful Mohawk King

Will ne'er consent to fight against the English,

Nay, more, will join them as firm Ally,

And influence other Chiefs by his Example,

To muster all their Strength against our Father.

Fathers perhaps will fight against their Sons,
