OUÂBI.
Yes! and that great, undaunted mind,With equal strength and vigor join'd,
Would lead thee with regardless haste
Thro' yon illimitable waste;
But yet thy wounded body spare,
Unfit to meet the toils of war;
Unfit the ambush'd chiefs to find,
To follow swifter than the wind,
Or, if by num'rous foes subdued,
To fly within the tangling wood:
With my Azâkia then remain,
'Till her lov'd warrior comes again.
