THE HISTORY
OF THE
36^TH (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.
