It is stated, that none of the soldiers, when they heard of his death, would put off their armor, Unbridle their horses, or dress their wounds, but, still hot and with their arms on, ran to the corpse, and, as if he had been yet alive and could see what they did, heaped up spoils about his body.

Clough, Arthur Hugh
It is said that the men who were at the fight did not lay aside their armour, nor Unbridle their horses, nor even bind up their wounds, when they heard of his death, but warm as they were from victory, in their arms, flocked round the corpse, piling up near it, as a trophy, the arms of their slain enemies.
