From Ponteach; Or, The Savages of America by Robert Rogers

Stop: Are we not unwise to kill this Woman? Or Sacrifice her Children to our Vengeance? They have not wrong'd us; can't do present Mischief. I know her Friends; they're rich and powerful, And in their Turn will take severe Revenge: But if we spare, they'll hold themselves oblig'd, And purchase their Redemption with rich Presents. Is not this better than an Hour's Diversion, To hear their Groans, and Plaints, and piteous Cries? (WARRIORS: Your Counsel's wise, and much deserves our Praise; They shall be spar'd.) Untie, and take them hence; [They untie the woman and the oldest child from HONNYMAN, and retire a little to consult his death. When the War ends her Friends shall pay us for it.
