Ponteach; Or, The Savages of America
Such Hurricanes of Courage often lead

To Shame and Disappointment in the End,

And tumble blindfold on their own Disgrace.

True Valour's slow, deliberate, and cool,

Considers well the End, the Way, the Means,

And weighs each Circumstance attending them.

Imaginary Dangers it detects,

And guards itself against all real Evils.

But here Tenesco comes with Speed important;

His Looks and Face presage us something new.

Tenesco.

Tenesco.

Hail, noble Youth! The News of your Return

And great Success has reach'd your Father's Ears.

Great is his Joy; but something more important

Seems to rest heavy on his anxious Mind,

And he commands your Presence at his Cabin.

Philip.

Philip.

We will attend his Call with utmost Speed,
