The picture by Weir, in the possession of Samuel Ward, Esq., of New York, which see—or rather see the beautiful lines of Halleck:—
"If he were with me, King of Tuscarora! Gazing as I upon thy portrait now, In all its medalled, fring'd, and beaded glory, Its eyes' dark beauty and its tranquil brow— Its brow, half martial, and half diplomatic, Its eye, upsoaring like an eagle's wings— Well might he boast that we, the democratic, Outrival Europe, even in our kings!"
