Note 1431 — Chapter XV · THE NORMAN INVASION AND THE CAMPAIGN OF HASTINGS.[1055] (continued 2)
Reading edition
Will. Pict. 135. “Languent Angli, et quasi reatum ipso defectu confitentes vindictam patiuntur.” So Guy, 527;
“Amborum gladiis campus rarescit ab Anglis,
Defluit et numerus, nutat et atteritur,
Corruit appositâ ceu silva minuta securi,
Sic nemus Angligentûm ducitur ad nihilum.”
