Wid jist the sodger’s graith hingin on a stob nae serve jist as weel tae test yer new crossbow Cooncillor?

Ah mak it a dizzen o my guid tap wicht men sent tae their maker noo by my coont.

This seems tappet-thrawn ware tae me.

Thon flicht ganȝe’s wicked sair tho.

Translate:

sodger: soldier.

Would just the soldier’s armour and chain-mail hanging on a post not serve just as well to test your new crossbow Councillor?

I make it a dozen of my best sturdy men sent to their maker now by my count.

This seems hardheadedly wasteful to me.

That flying crossbow bolt is cruelly excellent though.
