Here was weeping and here was lament, and sorrow immoderate; mickle hunger and strife at every man's gate! (Layamon's Brut, Layamon's Brut)
With a mickle host, towards his relation. Together they came--bliss was among the folk--and they kissed and embraced, and spake familiarly. (Layamon's Brut, Layamon's Brut)
Anon forthright assembled their knights. Then were there together two good armies, of whom Howel should command thirty thousand knights, and Arthur had in land forty thousand in hand. (Layamon's Brut, Layamon's Brut)

Seest thou these islands, that stand over this water?" Marvellous it seemed to Howel. (Layamon's Brut, Layamon's Brut)
