SIR WILLIAM WALLACE.
197
eminencej Edward could distinguish the lofty
plume of the Scotish leader, as he dashed for¬
ward to charge some isolated corps of the Eng¬
lish army, and while he beheld the enthusiasm
with which his conduct inspired his followers,
and saw the disorder of his own soldiers hurry¬
ing to gain the protection of the main body,
his heart misgave him as to the stability of his
conquest, while Scotland contained a man whose
appearance alone was capable of inspiring his
friends with such confidence and his enemies
with so much fear.
