A scorpion and an adder lurk in the goblet and stem, a viper crawls from the heart of the drink, and a warning from the Hebrew desert tale ends with a pledge to seek life only from safe wells and clouds. The poem contrasts temptation with divine caution and ends by seeking life from pure springs.
In July 1782 seven Wrandots killed an old man above Wheeling and scarred the countryside. Adam Poe and others chased the raiders led by Big Foot of the Wyandots. A fierce river battle left Big Foot dead, five brothers killed, and Poe wounded yet surviving to recount the tale. Andrew Poe saved his brother after the struggle. The Wyandots mourned their fallen, while Poe lived many years afterward reflecting on the fight.
