But Scotland’s “Watch” proved Gallia’s match,
And won the game by “Forty-Two!”
The last time France stood British fire
“The Watch” gained glory at its cost;
At Quatre Bras and Hugomont,
Three dreadful days they kept their post.
Ten hundred there, who form’d in square,
Before the close a handful grew;
The little phalanx never flinched,
Till “Boney” ran from Waterloo!
