English Dictionary

Unshipt them on our shores, under their puissant Swane:

And swolne with hate and ire, their huge unweeldy force,

Came clustring like the Greeks out of the Woodden-horse:

And the Norfolcian Townes, the neer’st unto the East,

With sacriledge and rape did terriblest infest:

Those Danes yet from the shores we with such violence drave,

Unshipt them on our shores, under their puissant Swane: And swolne with hate and ire, their huge unweeldy force, Came clustring like the Greeks out of the Woodden-horse: And the Norfolcian Townes, the neer’st unto the East, With sacriledge and rape did terriblest infest: Those Danes yet from the shores we with such violence drave, That from our swords, their ships could them but hardly save.
