Original Text :	Regius instructis processit suaviter alis Miles et adversos iamiam properabat in hostes. Suevi, Poiarii, qui regis in agmine primi Extant, quos celebrat numerosie fama triumphis, Praecurrunt celeres primique feruntur ad hostes. Hastas decurtant et certis corpora signis Scutaque discreti densos rapiuntur in hostes. Bellicus exoritur magno certamine clamor; Irrumpunt telis, quae confertissima stipant Agmina Saxonum, deiectant undique leto Corpora, maturas ceu falx succidit aristas. Ense metunt capitum segetes, miserabile visu! Ense parant medios iter, est quacunque, per hostes. Non tegit indutos artus lorica fidelis, Nec caput auratae galeae, moriuntur ubique. Strata cadaveribus crudescit sanguine tellus; Ingruit armorum sonitus clamorque cadentum. Ancipites gladii numerosa clade calescunt, Seminecesque viris permixti sanguine multo Provolvuntur equi, traiecti pectora ferro. Horrificus belli crebrescit ubique tumultus,
