Drums rolled.

_To arms! To arms!_ King George's army started up in the dawning.

Infantry hastened into ranks, cavalrymen ran to their horses.

The line of bushes moved, began to come forward with great rapidity.
The Highlanders flung themselves upon Cope's just-forming cavalry.
With their claymores they slashed at the faces of horses.

The hurt beasts wheeled, broke for the rear.
