the bagpipe's fitful wailing: Not the pibroch loud and shrill, That, with hope of bloody banquet, Lured the ravens from the hill, But a dirge both low and solemn, Fit for ears of dying men, Marshalled for their latest battle, Never more to fight again. Madness--madness! Why this shrinking? Were we less inured to war When our reapers swept the harvest From the field of red Dunbar? Bring my horse, and blow the trumpet! Call the riders of Fitz-James: Let Lord Lewis head the column! Valiant chiefs ...of mighty names-- Trusty Keppoch, stout Glengarry, Gallant Gordon, wise Locheill-- Bid the clansmen hold together, Fast, and fell, and firm as steel. Elcho, never look so gloomy-- What avails a saddened brow? Heart, man, heart! we need it sorely, Never half so much, as now. Had we but a thousand troopers, Had we but a thousand more! Noble Perth, I hear them coming!-- Hark! the English cannons' roar. God! how awful sounds that volley, Bellowing through the mist and rain! Was not that the Highland slogan?
