Thus end these poetical annals, so curious and so plain, when properly understood and translated. The following addition is merely a fragment on the subsequent period, translated by John Burns. I give it as received although I fear it is inaccurate in some respects, and a paraphrase rather than literal account. Yet by this addition, we obtain a kind of general history of at least one American tribe, and a complete original series of traditions, in their peculiar pristine style. Many others will be added hereafter, either from printed traditions, or historical songs and fragments. _Fragment on the history of the Linapis from about 1600 till 1820._ 1. Alas, alas! we know now who they are, these _Wapsinis_ (white people) who then came out of the sea, to rob us of our country. Starving wretches! with smiles they came; but soon became snaking foes. 2. The _Wallamolum_ was written by _Lekhibit_ (the writer) to record our glory. Shall I write another to record our fall? No! our foes have taken care to do it; but I speak to thee what they know not or conceal. 3. We have had many other kings since that unhappy time. They were 3 till the friendly _Mikwon_ (Penn) came. _Mattanikum_ (not horned, not strong),(52) when the _Winakoli_(53) came to _Winaki_. _Nahumen_ (raccoon) when the _Sinalwi_ (Dutch) came. And _Ikwahon_ (fond of women) when the _Yankwis_ (English) came, with Mikwon and his friends soon after. 4. They were all received and fed with corn; but no land was ever sold, we never sell any. They were all allowed to dwell with us, to build houses and plant corn, as our friends and allies. Because they were hungry, and thought children of _Gishaki_ (the sun land) and not snakes nor children of snakes.(54) 5. And they were traders, bringing fine new tools, and weapons, and cloth, and beads, for which we exchanged skins and shells and corn. And we liked them, with their things, because we thought they were good, and made by the children of _Gishaki_. 6. But alas! they brought also fire guns and fire waters, which burned and killed. Also baubles and trinkets of no use; since we had better ones. 7. And after Mikwon, came the children of _Dolojo-Sakima_ (King George) who said, more land, more land we must have, and no limit could be put to their steps and increase. 8. But in the north were the children of _Lowi-Sakima_, (King Louis), who were our good friends, allies of our allies, foes of our foes: yet _Dolojo_ always wanted to war with them. 9. We had 3 kings after _Mikwon_ came. _Skalichi_ who was another _Tamenend_,(55) and _Sasunam Wikwikhon_ (our uncle the builder), and _Tatami_ (the beaver taker) who was killed by a _Yankwako_ (English snake), and we vowed revenge. 10. _Netatawis_ (first renewed being) became king of all the nations in the west, again at _Talligewink_ (Ohio or the Talega place) on the river Cayahaga, with our old allies the _Talamatans_: and he called on all of the east.
