Here is also the monument of Edward the Black Prince, with his effigy in brass, and suspended above it his helmet, shield, sword-scabbard, and gauntlets.
There were three of us: one had lost a horse, killed; one a hat and one a sword-scabbard. All were thankful that it was no worse. After the rain of the night before and the frequent and heavy rains for some days previous, the roads were almost impassable. The enemy carrying his artillery and supply trains over them in his retreat, made them still worse for troops following.
If there is a stirrup-leather or sword-scabbard in the garrison, I promise you as sound a beating as you ever yet received."
