THE HISTORY
OF THE
36TH (ULSTER) DIVISION
O socii, neque enim ignari sumus ante malorum,
O passi graviora, dabit deus his quoque finem.
Virgil: Æneid.
And he hadde been somtyme in chyvachie,
In Flaundrés, in Artoys and Pycardie,
And born hym weel.
Chaucer: Canterbury Tales.
Dawbeney—
Wise princes, Oxford,
Fight not alone with forces. Providence
Directs and tutors strength; else elephants
And barbèd horses might as well prevail
As the most subtle stratagems of war.
Ford: Perkin Warbeck.
