bashaw he gave a pat-a.

The bashaw, in alarm,
Turn'd tails, and fled his arm.
But face to face,
With lovely grace,
In all her charms,
Rush'd to his arms
The beautiful lady Calamata.

Captain Smith, from the foaming seas,
From pirates, and shipwreck, and miseries,
In a French lady's arms found a haven of ease;
Her name--pshaw! from memory quite gone 't has.

And on this savage shore,
Where his faulchion stream'd with gore,
His noble heart
The savage dart
Had quiver'd through;
But swifter flew
To his heart the pretty princess Pocahontas.

GERALDINE. Silence.

KATE. Mum.

_Enter DELAWAR, WALTER, LARRY, &c._

DELAWAR. Each noble act of his that you recite

WALTER. My lord,
This is the lovely princess you have heard of;
Our infant colony's best patroness;
Nay, sir, its foster-mother.

DELAWAR. Mark how wild--

_Music. The PRINCESS enters, with wild anxiety in her looks; searches
eagerly around for SMITH and ROLFE._

DELAWAR. Whom do you look for, lady?

PRINCESS. They are gone!
Gone to be slaughter'd!

WALTER. If you seek our captain,
He has departed for your father's banquet.

PRINCESS. Then they have met, and they will both be lost,
My lover and my friend. O! faithless path,
That led me from my lover! Strangers, fly!
If you're the white man's friends--

DELAWAR. Lady, we are.

PRINCESS. Then fly to save them from destruction!

DELAWAR. How?

PRINCESS. Inquire not; speak not; treachery and death
Await them at the banquet.

DELAWAR. Haste, my friends,
Give order for immedi
