1830 Edition

and so swift and speedy was the war, that there was none left to bury the dead, but they did march forth from the shedding of blood, to the shedding of blood, leaving the bodies of both men, women and children, strewed upon the face of the land, to become a prey to the worms of the flesh;

aAnd so swift and speedy was the war, that there was none left to bury the dead, but they did march forth from the shedding of blood, to the shedding of blood, leaving the bodies of both men, women, and children, strewed upon the face of the land, to become a prey to the worms of the flesh;.

Simple English

The war was so fast that no one was left to bury the dead. They just marched from one killing to the next. They left the bodies of men, women, and children scattered on the land. The bodies became food for worms.

Paraphrase

The killing moved so fast that no one stopped to bury the dead. They just kept marching from one battle to the next, leaving bodies—men, women, children—scattered across the ground for scavengers.
