text_original: Marlborough himself was in a very poor condition of health on the day of the battle, and a report actually spread abroad for a while among the Allies and among the enemy that the great commander had found his death upon the field. Marlborough's time, however, had not yet come. The victory was with him and his allies, but the French were able, when the day had turned decisively against them, to accomplish a 1709 MARLBOROUGH'S LAST GREAT BATTLE. 29 retreat in good order.
