Haydock's commentary
Ground. This expression is still used by the Arabs, to denote velocity. (Grotius)
Septuagint, "in wrath he will make the earth disappear." (Haydock)
Mox sanguis venis melior calet, ire viarum
Longa volunt latumque fuga consumere campum. (Nemesianus)
Account. Hebrew, "believe that," or "stops not when." He is so eager to rush forward to battle.
Si qua sonum procul arma dedere,
Stare loco nescit, micat auribus et tremit artus. (Georg. iii.)
