On red coats they some pity had,
But ’gainst Militia were raging mad.
Cob’s dragoons they southmost stood;
But gain a flank they never cou’d:
For Murray led on the front line,
And kept them both from flank and wind:
Some time was spent these points to gain;
But all the struggle prov’d in vain.
Gardner’s and Monroe’s were next,
On worse ground troopers could not fix;
