Those early Jesuit fathers who preached to Hurons and Choctaws;
They prayed to be delivered from the vengeance of the squaws.

When the early Jesuit fathers preached to Hurons and Choctaws,
They prayed to be delivered from the vengeance of the squaws.
'Twas the women, not the warriors, turned those stark enthusiasts pale.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

We'll forgive Kipling for relocating the Choctaws from Alabama -- he needed the rhyme.
