And seoðe ich cumen wulle. to mine kineriche.
and wunien mid Brutten mid muchelere wunne.

Additional quotes by Layamon
By reason of Arthur's position as its climax as well as of the long line of other traditional heroes, events and associations, and of its breadth of treatment, simplicity, intensity, enthusiasm, accord with the supernatural, vitality of imagination, elevation and sometimes nobility and religious feeling, the poem is the nearest thing we have to a traditional racial epic.
Yurstendæi wes Baldulf cnihten alre baldest.
nu he stant on hulle & Auene bi-haldeð.

swulche deor an hulle swulche fisces in wælle.
