XIV.
But Cameron with his gallant warriors rushed
Straight through their broken ranks, and gained the peak,
Where stands the Wreathéd Cross. Ne’er torrent gushed
From Mandal more impetuous fierce to seek
The plain. Beneath the shock Gaul’s columns break.
First fly their cannon down the mountain-side,
And next—the mouths secured that dare not speak—
To a lower ridge the infantry doth glide
Where forms their line, not yet abated all their pride.
