THIS DUE TODAY PLZ JUST HELP TEXT:
Arriving at Weramocomoca, being jealous of the intent of this politick [savage]; to discover his intent the better, I with 20. Shot armed in Jacks went a shore… Two in a ranke we marched to the Emperors house. Before his house stood fortie or fiftie great Platters of fine bread. Being entred the house, with loude tunes they all made signes of great joy. This proud [savage], having his nest women, and the principall of his chiefe men assembled, sate in rankes as before is expressed: himself as upon a Throne at the upper ende of the house, with such a Majestie as I cannot expresse, nor yet have often seene, either in Pagan or Christian. With a kinde countenance hee bad[e] mee welcome, and caused a place to bee made by himselfe to sit. I presented him a sute of red cloath, a white Greyhound, and a Hatte: as Jewels he esteemed them, and with a great Oration made by three of his Nobles, if there be any amongst [Savages], kindly accepted them, with a publike confirmation of a perpetuall league and friendship.
… With a merrie countenance he asked me for certain peeces which I promised him… I gave him them, being sure that none could carrie them. But where are these men you promised to come with you. I told him, without. Who thereupon gave order to have them brought in, two after two, ever maintaining the guard without. And as they presented themselves, ever with thankes he would salute me: and caused each of them to have foure of five pound of bread given them. This done, I asked him for the corne and ground he promised me. He told me I should have it: but he expected to have all these men lay their armes at his feet, as did his subjects. I tolde him that was a ceremonie our enemies desired, but never our Friends, as we presented ourselves unto him; yet that he should not doubt of our friendship. The next day my father would give him a child of his, in full assurance of our loves, and not only that, but when he should thinke it convenient, wee would deliver under his subjection the Country of Manacam and Pocoughtaonack his enemies.

This so contented him, as immediatly with attentive silence, with a lowd oration he proclaimed me Awerowances of Powhaton, and that all his subjects should so esteem us, and no man account us strangers…and that the Corne, weomen and Country, should be to us as to his owne people. This proffered kindness for many reasons we contemned not, but with the best Languages and signes of thankes I could expresse, I tooke my leave.

I know the difference of peace and war better than any in my country. But now I am old and before long must die… What good will it do you to take by force that which you may have by love, or to destroy those that provide you with food? What can you get by war, when we can hide our provisions, and fly to the woods, so that you must famish by wronging us, your friends?

Do you think I am so simple, not to know it is far better to eat good meat, lie well, and sleep quietly with my women and children, to laugh and be merry with you, have copper, hatchets, or what I want, being your friend, than be forced to fly from all, to lie cold in the woods, feed upon acorns, roots, and such trash; and so be hunted by you, that I can neither rest, eat, nor sleep; but my tired men must watch, and if a twig but break, everyone cries, “Here comes Captain Smith!” so I must fly I know not where, and thus in miserable fear end my miserable life? Come in a friendly manner to see us, and not thus with your guns and swords.
