The Song of Joan of Arc
By Christine de Pisan
Stanza 37
Oh! you soldiers who have proven
yourselves to be good and loyal.
I must make mention of you
who carry out the deeds of war
for your service to our royal.
(Every nation will praise you)
for your valor that is second to none,
and long remember all you have done.
Original in French
Et vous, gens d'armes esprouvez,
Qui faites l'execution,
Et bons et loyaulx vous prouvez,
Bien faire on en doit mention
(Louez en toute nation
Vous en serez!), et sans faillance
Parler sur toute election
De vous, et de vostre vaillance,1
