The Song of Joan of Arc
By Christine de Pisan
Stanza 42
She will restore the Church and
bring harmony to all of Christendom.
She will destroy the unbelievers
and heretics reducing them to none.
For this is the prophecy's substance.
That she will not spare the rod
and will have no mercy for any place
that disrespects the things of God.
Original in French
En Christianté et l'Eglise
Sera par elle mis concorde.
Les mescreans dont on devise,
Et les herites de vie orde
Destruira, car ainsi l'acorde
Prophecie, qui l'a predit,
Ne point n'aura misericorde
De lieu, qui la foy Dieu laidit.1
