Note 340 — Chapter IV · SKETCH OF THE HISTORY OF NORMANDY DURING THE TENTH CENTURY.[188] (continued 2)
Reading edition
I may for once quote an “Apostropha” of Dudo, 125 D;
“O pius, prudens, bonus, et modestus;
Fortis et constans, sapiensque, justus,
Dives, insignis, locuplesque, sollers
Rex Haygrolde.
Quamvis haut sis chrismate delibutus,
Et sacro baptismate non renatus:
En vale, salveque, et aucto semper
In deitate.”
