it happened, the Troublesome Ones came south, and told the Scots that they would dwell with them. They obtained wives of
the Scots, on condition at they chose their lairds always on
the female side; which they have continued to do, so long since. In that same year,
Gaius Julius
the emperor, first of the Romans, sought the land of Britain; and he crushed the
Britons in
battle, and overcame them, and nevertheless he was unable to gain any empire there.
And the Troublesome Ones
found Roman drink to their liking and followed them south.

Arthorgrim the Scintillating Poonseeker, is

This year
appeared the comet-star in August, and shone every morning, during three months, like a

EOUR SAXES, take out your swords this
Troublemaker,
being a little hard of hearing mistook the sound for
NEMET HER SACS, take out their purses, instead therefore of applying
to the throat he immediately applied to the
pocket of his guest. --Henry Fielding.
