Tanta autem eo tempore pax in Brittania, quaqua-versum imperium regis Aeduini pervenerat, fuisse perhibetur, ut, sicut usque hodie in proverbio dicitur, etiam si mulier una cum recens nato parvulo vellet totam perambulare insulam a mari ad mare, nullo se laedente valeret.
Now in those days such is stated to have been the tranquillity throughout Britain, which way so ever the rule of king Edwin had reached, that (as it is yet to-day in a common proverb), even if a woman should have wished to walk along with her newborn babe over all the island from sea to sea, she might have done so without injury from any.
