Six divisions of the army entered Portugal for winter cantonments; the second division crossed the Sierra de Gata, and took up its quarters in the vicinity of Coria, in Spanish Estremadura, and the light division remained near Rodrigo, on the left bank of the Agueda; the head-quarters of the first brigade being at Gallegos, and those of the second brigade at Fuente de Guinaldo. The Marquis of Wellington established his head-quarters at Frenada, in Portugal, as usual. There Señor Fuentes, a good-looking Spaniard, used to play on the guitar, and sing romances. One air in particular I well remember hearing him sing at a dinner party at Gallegos; it was also sung by the Spanish _muchachas_ in all the _puéblos_ and hamlets, soon after the Duke of Ragusa's defeat at Salamanca. The conclusion of each stanza was as follows:— Adónde vayas Marmont? Adónde vayas Marmont, Tan tempráno de a mañana? Si te cogé Vellington; Ah! Marmont, Marmont, Marmont! [Footnote 43: On the right as we were retiring, but, when we faced about, on the left flank, _à la militaire_.] CHAPTER XII.
