Battle of Waterloo

"At the battle of Waterloo, when Napoleon's cavalry had charged again and again upon the unbroken squares of British infantry, at last they were giving up the attempt, and going off in disorder, when some of the officers in mere vexation and complete despair fired their pistols at those solid squares."

"Waterloo: I was defeated, you won the war."

"We wait, like war-horse chafing To burst the fetters through, The word—"Up guards and at them" Of the Duke at Waterloo."
