To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At a later time four elephants regularly drew the car of the general after a victory over the Parthians — in a Triumphus Perstcus^ as it was called. Alexander Severus, after his triumph over the Persians, was drawn homeward by four elephants ('Scrip. Hist. Aug.,' i. 258).
Be Lions Imde. Vtd. note above to 1. 233.
243-246. Sibbald gives but two lines instead of four. Certainly the four lines are weaker than the couplet. In 1. 245 "tounes "seems a misprint for "heavens." The contrast is with "ear...th," 1. 244, and the thought is from 2 Chron. ii. 6 : " The heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain Him." 268. Sibbald's reading is again preferable.
296. Na gunners could that bartsene clenge — i.r., "No gunners could sweep the parapet clean," or ** could drive all enemies from it," and thus prevent attack from above. The expression is based upon the character of the Scriptural account of the hailstorm mentioned in the previous stanza (Josh. x. 11).
