Translation examples
Los animales estaban castrados y les habían rajado el cuello, a modo de advertencia de la suerte que habría de correr la levantisca guarnición. Pasó la festividad de san Abdón, y no llegaron los refuerzos esperados. Atrás quedó también la de san Posidio. Al día siguiente, festividad de las Siete Vírgenes, Hook dirigió sus plegarias a cada una de ellas. Al otro, elevó sus oraciones a san Dunstan, santo inglés, en su día, y al otro, a san Etelberto, que había sido rey de Inglaterra.
The animals had been gelded and had their throats cut as a warning of the fate that awaited the defiant garrison. The feast of Saint Abdus passed, and no relief force arrived, and then Saint Possidius’s feast came and went, and next day was the feast of the seven holy virgins, and Hook prayed to each one, and in the next dawn he sent a plea to Saint Dunstan, the Englishman, on his feast day, and the day after that to Saint Ethelbert, who had been a king of England, and all the time he also prayed to Crispinian and to Crispin, begging their protection, and on the very next day, on the feast of Saint Hospitius, he received his answer.
