Near by Torwood they rendezvouz’d,
Where Hawley’s camp, afar they view’d,
Hard by Falkirk, on the north side,
The English banners were display’d.
From th’ banks of Carron they had in view,
All passes where they could come thro’:
Ev’n from Forth side up to the hills;
But high presumption their courage fills,
As they were arm’d in such a case,
The rebel Scots would not them face:
