... been injured in a gallant battle for his country. In the next passage, in which the sergeant says "Which smok'd with bloody execution," he is referring to Macbeth's stalwartness in which his sword is covered in the blood of the enemy.

They finally surrendered or fled from the war and went home. Although the English won, they also lost. Sixteen villages were destroyed and one-tenth of the military men were killed. So many men were lost that the casualties were higher in King Philip’s War than in either the American Revolution or Civil War. The Wampanoag did not get off so very easy either. An English ally killed Metacom and his head was exhibited at Plymouth for twenty years. As a result of this war, Native Americans never regained power of southeastern New Engl ...
