With artillery and with archery the English had drawnthe Scottish attack, and the battle of Flodden was but a variation onevery fight since Dupplin Moor. Finally the Scots formed themselves intoa ring of spearmen, and the English, with their arrows and their longbills, kept up a continuous attack. The story has been told once forall: "But yet, though thick the shafts as snow, Though charging knights as whirlwinds go, Though bill-men ply the ghastly blow, Unbroken was the ring; The stubborn spea...rmen still made good Their dark impenetrable wood, Each stepping where their comrade stood The instant that he fell. No thought was there of dastard flight; Link'd in the serried phalanx tight Groom fought like noble, squire like knight, As fearlessly and well; Till utter darkness closed her wing O'er their thin host and wounded king. " No defeat had ever less in it of disgrace. The victory of the Englishwas hard won, and the valour displayed on the stricken field savedScotland from any further results of Surrey's triumph.
