William Wordsworth - In The Pass Of Killicranky
Work rating: Low

SIX thousand veterans practised in war`s game,
Tried men, at Killicranky were arrayed
Against an equal host that wore the plaid,
Shepherds and herdsmen.--Like a whirlwind came
The Highlanders, the slaughter spread like flame;
And Garry, thundering down his mountain-road,
Was stopped, and could not breathe beneath the load
Of the dead bodies.--`Twas a day of shame
For them whom precept and the pedantry
Of cold mechanic battle do enslave.                         
O for a single hour of that Dundee,
Who on that day the word of onset gave!
Like conquest would the Men of England see;
And her Foes find a like inglorious grave.
