treasure/ we had expected to find inside,/ found nothing but a heap of coins,/ which, after
scraping away the dirt/ that had collected on them,/ we saw were not even very old./
Perhaps some thief? had already stolen/ whatever else had been inside./ On receipt of the
news,/ given us by an eye-witness,/ that our side had won the battle,/ there was great
rejoicing/ in the streets./1 scratched the back of my head,/ and fancied that some kind of
trick/ must have been employed/ in order to have got the licence,/ and so began to make
enquiries/ which I knew might be rather risky/ and lead to trouble.
