Poem of the Day: N.Edward

Omnibus est recolenda dies qua maximus anglum
Sternitur eadweardus dira rex morte peremptus.
Inuidia certum est propria quem gente necatum.
Tres annos et dimidium qui rexerat anglos.
Heu ueriti nec sunt domini sic fallere dextram.
Nam iunctus superis Christum quaesiuit in astris.
Tempore post paruo fruitur fulcimine honesto.
Auxilio Christi nullo dubitamine fungens:
Tollitur e tumulo iacuit quo conditus ante
Subuehitur feretro digne comitante popello.
