Note 1400 — Chapter XV · THE NORMAN INVASION AND THE CAMPAIGN OF HASTINGS.[1055] (continued 2)
Reading edition
Ib. 491;
“Dux memor, ut miles subitò se vertit ad illum,
Per nasum galeæ concitus accipiens,
Vultum telluri, plantas ad sidera volvit;
Sic sibi concessum scandere currit equum.”
Mark the mention of the nose-piece, so conspicuous in the Tapestry.
