Terror and Rage distorting every face,
Inflame each-other into trembling fury.
Soft-ey'd Humanity, oh! veil thy sight!

(Even in thought) the dire ensuing scene;
For Madness, Madness reigns, and urges men
To deeds that Rationality disowns.
Now here and there about the horrid Field,
Striding across the dying and the dead,
Stalks up a man by strength superior,
