Note 1341 — Chapter XV · THE NORMAN INVASION AND THE CAMPAIGN OF HASTINGS.[1055] (continued 2)
Reading edition
Roman de Rou, 12967;
“Quant Heraut out tot apresté,
E ço k’il volt out comandé,
Emmi les Engleiz est venu,
Lez l’estendart est descendu.”
This is almost a translation of the lines in the song of Maldon, quoted in vol. i. p. 298, note 3. So again, 13103;
“Miz se sunt juste l’estandart;
Chescun prie ke Dex le gart.”
