“Ha!----in their stead, their hunter sons!
Ha, ha! they are on me----they hunt in a ring!
Keep off! I brave you all at once,
I throw off your eyes like snakes that sting!
You have killed the black eagle at nest, I think:
Did you ever stand still in your triumph, and shrink
From the stroke of her wounded wing?”
― The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim's Point
