Hah! Captain Frisk, what! you a great man too? My Bus'ness here is only with your Colonel; And I'll be heard, or know the Reason why. 1ST CHIEF. I thought the English had been better Men. 2ND CHIEF. Frenchmen would always hear an Indian speak, And answer fair, and make good Promises. (COCKUM: You may be d----d, and all your Frenchmen too.) Be d----d! what's that? I do not understand. (COCKUM: The Devil teach you; he'll do it without a Fee.) The Devil teach! I think you one great Fool. Did your King tell you thus to treat the Indians? Had he been such a Dunce he ne'er had conquer'd, And made the running French for Quarter cry. I always mind that such proud Fools are Cowards, And never do aught that is great or good.
