Note 1124 — Chapter XV · THE NORMAN INVASION AND THE CAMPAIGN OF HASTINGS.[1055]
Reading edition
Wid. Amb. 106;
“Nox ubi cæca polum tenebrosis occupat umbris,
Et negat obsequium Cynthia tecta tibi,
Imples non aliter facibus rutilantibus undas,
Sidera quam cœlum, sole ruente, replent.
Quot fuerant naves, totidem tu lumina spargis.”
