Bishop Brian Walton.
“He lived in troubled times. Let us forget
How paltry squabbles about tithes would fret
His soul and those of others: nor need we
Fight o’er again, with paper chivalry,
The struggle anent lectures. ’T is alone 5
As scholar Brian Walton will be known
Age after age: for ne’er will be forgot
His famous bible cleped the Polyglot”
‘Peter Proletarius’ (George Markham Tweddell )
From the intro to the chapter on Brian Walton in [Bards & Authors, p. 224]
