SIX thousand veterans practised in war's game, br Tried men, at Killicranky were arrayed br Against an equal host that wore the plaid, br Shepherds and herdsmen.--Like a whirlwind came br The Highlanders, the slaughter spread like flame; br And Garry, thundering down his mountain-road, br Was stopped, and could not breathe beneath the load br Of the dead bodies.--'Twas a day of shame br For them whom precept and the pedantry br Of cold mechanic battle do enslave. br O for a single hour of that Dundee, br Who on that day the word of onset gave! br Like conquest would the Men of England see; br And her Foes find a like inglorious grave.
