" This ad- dress was received with one unanimous shout by the army. The colonels threw themselves from their horses, to cut themselves off from every chance of re- treat, and "charged with incredible impetuosity. "* Munroe had given orders to a squadron of his horse to break through the columns of the Irish foot as they ad- vanced ; but that squadron was panic-stricken by the ter- rible array of the Irish battalions, and retreated disorderly through their own foot, pursued by O'Neill's cavah-y.... Nevertheless Munroe's infantry stood firm, and ''received the Irish, body to body, with push of pike, " f till at last their cavalry reserve, being routed in a second charge, fell, pell mell, amongst his infantry, which, being now broken and disordered, had no way to retreat but over the river which lay in their front.
Terrified by the fate of their fellows, who perished under their eyes in the Blackwater, the surviving Scots vainly sought to conceal themselves in the thickets that covered the country in the vicinity of the battle-field ; nor was the darkness of the night able to protect them from their victorious pursuers.
