The proud Pretender’s force to try,
And all the Highland pow’rs defy:
Commanded by Cope and fur’ous Fowke,
Who, alas! their plan had quite mistook;
Though Loudon and Gard’ner both were there,
They in council had, but little share:
For Cope he challeng’d the sole command,
And Fowke was still at his demand.
A day’s march made from Haddington,
Judg’d great fatigue, four miles of ground.
