From Tecumseh : a Drama by Charles Mair

Ay, and our huge force must be larger still, If we would change these Provinces to States. Then, Colonel Proctor's intercepted letter-- Bidding the captor of Fort Mackinaw Send but five thousand warriors from the West, Which, be it artifice or not, yet points To great and serious danger. Add to this Brock's rumoured coming with his Volunteers, All burning to avenge their fathers' wrongs, And our great foe, Tecumseh, fired o'er his; These are the reasons; grave enough, I think, Which urge me to withdraw from Canada, And wait for further force; so, go at once, And help our soldiers to recross the river. (CASS: But I see----) No "buts"! You have my orders. (CASS: No solid reason here, naught but a group Of flimsy apprehensions----) Go at once! Who kicks at judgment, lacks it.
