Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Literal Translation of Cynewulf's Elene From Zupitza's d104 Then did the refuge of princes, the ruler7 of men, the com mander of armies, Constantine, the king of blessed renown, give orders to make with great haste a standard8 similar9 to the Cross of Christ, as he saw that sign that was before shown him in the heavens. (105) He gave orders then in the early morning to awake the warriors and the weapon storm with break of day, to lift the war-ensign and carry the holy Tree before him, [and] bear God's Sign among the foe. Loud rang out the trumpets before the armies. The raven rejoiced at the movement; (111) the dewy-winged eagle watched the march, the war of men cruel in slaughter.
