They beat back Claverhouse and his dragoons. A general rising took place in the West Country. About 6000 men assembled at Hamilton, mostly raw and undisciplined countrymen. The King's forces assembled to meet them, -- 10,000 well-disciplined troops, with a complete train of field artillery. What chance had the Covenanters against such a force?

[1] Pushkin. Compare Shelley's Adonais, xxxi. 3: "as the last cloud of an expiring storm."
However, it is time to be stirring. I will go to the Elizaveta spring -- I am told that the whole society of the watering-place assembles there in the morning.英文原著 · 《A Hero of Our Time》
It was the refrain of a Millerite hymn. The Millerites believed that these signs in the sky were omens of the approaching catastrophe.
