A heavy doom 'tis thine to me,

The curse of Him thou didst forsake;

English John Talbot, Captains, calls you forth,
Servant in arms to Harry King of England;
And thus he would open your city gates,
Be humble to us, call my sovereignvours
And do him homage as obedient subjects,
And I'll withdraw me and my bloody power;
But if you frown upon this proffer'd peace,
You tempt the fury of my three attendants,
Lean famine, quartering steel, and climbing fire;
Who in a moment even with the earth
Shall lay your stately and air braving towers,
If you forsake the offer of their love.
If you desire ease, forsake learning.

Sprang from your delusion that it was wantonness
Of spirit and contempt of your soul's rights

A World must be
Themselves forsake -- contented,
For Deity.
