    Original Text :Utraque sic odiis certabant agmina diris,
    Cum fortis subito rex irruit agmine denso
    In medios hostes, proculcans obvia quaeque
    Agmina Saxonum cunctantia sacrilegorum.
    Fulminat egregiis rex ipse coruscus in armis,
    Plurima consternens periurae milia gentis.
    Nec mora, ceu tenuis ventorum flamine pulvis
    Diffugit, a facie regis sic agmen et omne:
    Scutis dorsa tegunt, volucri cursuque recedunt.
    In spe nulla salus, ruit inrevocabile vulgus.
