Touched with compassion some weak woman’s breast?
Such things he’d read of! Faintly to his mind
Came Pocahontas pleading for her guest.

To baritone! A squaw in ragged gown
Stood near him, frowning hatred. Was he blind?
Whose eye was this beneath that beetling frown?
The frown was painted, but that wink meant—Brown!
