The painted chief, and pointed spear,
And Reason's self shall bow the knee
To shadows and delusions here."

And shares again the joyous feast."
Philip Freneau (1752-1832), U.S. poet, sailor, journalist. The Indian Burying Ground (l. 1-8). WTO. New Oxford Book of American Verse, The. Richard Ellmann, ed. (1976) Oxford University Press.
