And so will the whole army; ’tis very catching, For, when the coward runs, the brave man totters. Perhaps the air of the country is the cause. I feel it coming upon me, so I strive against it; You yet are whole; but, after a few more Retreats, we all shall know how to retreat Better than fight.—To be plain, I think retreating Too often takes away a soldier’s courage.
