Master Wace, His Chronicle of the Norman Conquest From the Roman De Rou

Note 2 — Chapter XXIV

Edgar Taylor translation

L'Estoire de Seint Ædward le Rei puts an energetic exhortation into William's mouth at this crisis:

Ke put estre, dist-il, ceste Cuardie, segnurs Normantz, Ki ancesurs avea si grants? Rois Rou, ki as coups de lance Descumfist le rei de France, E le mata en mi sa terre, Par force de bataille e guerre; E ducs Richard k'apres li vint, Ki li diable ateint e tint. E le venquit e le lia. E vus failliz, forlignez ja! Sivet moi, ma gent demeine!
