Without requeuing leave of^abfence,
From those who had temporal care of him,
STRAYED,
Or rather dole himfelf from exijience,
SKIUPKI HATKI,
A Wcjiern Chief*
And Candidate
For Liberty aerial:
In which, perhaps, he breathes
The air of freedom, far
From this oppreflive atmosphere,
That bowel’s him in earth.
The probable cause
Os such unnatural flight,
To the Land of Spirits,
We may attribute,
To insanity :
But where the foul,
Knew no controul,
And Liberty,
Made all men free j
No chain could bind,
A favage'mind,
Through leathern dring,
It took its wing
To regions, where imagination tells
How Chridians live, and where this Savage dwells.
