Bring my horse, and blow the trumpet!
Call the riders of Fitz-James:
Let Lord Lewis head the column!
Valiant chiefs of mighty names—
Trusty Keppoch, stout Glengarry,
Gallant Gordon, wise Locheill—
Bid the clansmen hold together,
Fast, and fell, and firm as steel.
Elcho, never look so gloomy—
What avails a saddened brow?
