text_original: Down at the ford, it was said, that the water Was reddened with blood from the soldiers who fell: As for the bridge, when they tried it, their forces Were beaten with terrible slaughter as well. Grape shot swept causeway, and pattered on water, And riddled their columns, that broke and gave way; Thrice they charged boldly, and thrice they retreated; Then darkness came down, and so ended the fray.
