General Notes

[1700591.ged]
from:  The life of King Alfred by Asser
the pagans long worshipped as a god. Sedulius makes mention of him in his
metrical Paschal poem, as follows: --
When gentile poets with their fictions vain,
In tragic language and bombastic strain,
To their god Geat, comic deity,
Loud praises sing, &c.
Asser continues lineage through father Taetwa to Noah.
