By Savage hands this lovely youth was slain.
No Fathers pity or no Mothers tear,
Soothed the sad scene or eas'd the hour of pain.

- However, some recent scholarship has cast doubt upon claims that the Karankawa were cannibals at all and rather has drawn attention to the original impression of the Karankawa given in the record of Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca in 1528, a most telling insight into the culture and nature of these giants. Finding Cabeza de Vaca, lost and frightened, washed ashore on Galveston Island with the few survivors of the ill-fated Pánfilo de Narváez Expedition, the Karankawa sat down and wept with them.

To the edge of the wood
Then a monster will get you
And love does no good
