                      Richard Coeur de Lion
 
 
 
If captive wight attempt the tuneful strain,
 
  His voice, belike, full dolefully will sound;
 
Yet, to the end 'tis comfort to complain.
 
  Frieds have I store and promises abound;
 
Shame on th niggards since, these winters twain
 
Unransom'd, still i wear a tyrant's chain.
 
 
 
Full well they knew, my lords and nobles all,
 
  Of England, Normandy, Guienne, Poictou,
 
Ne'er did I slight my poorest vassal's call,
 
  But all, whom wealth would buy, from chains withdrew.
 
Not in reproach I speak, nor idly vain,
 
But I alone unpitied bear the chain.
 
 
 
My fate will show "the dungeon and the grave
 
  Alike repel our kindred and out friends."
 
Here am I left their paltry gold to save!
 
  Sad fate is mine, but worse their crime attends.
 
Their lord will die; their conscience shall remain,
 
And tell how long I wore the galling chain.
 
 
 
To those my frieds, lond loved and ever dear,
 
  To gentle Cha&iuml;ll and kind Perserin,
 
Go forth, my song, and say, whate'er they hear,
