From Charles’ batt’ry the fire began
By gunners who no honour wan.
The Duke perceiving that his left,
Would be took weak, for such a drift
Of the stout Clans were coming on them,
Sent Bland and Hawley to wait ’pon them,
With foot and horse and Campbells too,
As good as ere cauld iron drew.
Then seeing all in order right,
The signal gave for bloody fight.
