Epic, Lyric, and Elegiac Poems of Andreas Libavius

And had driven the victors with empty terror:
That would have been the last day in the war. Nevertheless, the author
Is kept for penalties which he may soon understand are sharp.

People, and the vast tracts of the Ister Danube, and the towns of the bridge

Could publish that IAVRINUM Győr was captured: thus faithfully
The deed was done, which you, German, remember
To preserve in all wars with paternal study.
They, therefore, joyful, hurry and seize the bridge.
A part was admitted by crafty craft, and received by the doors.
But the soldier felt that he had slipped into the middle of the enemies,
