LES BOURGEOIS DE CALAIS
ERFECTLY sad and perfectly resolved,
They are ready, ready to be hanged. They go
(Forlorn ones!) against Calais’ overthrow;
And all their fate in Calais’ is involved
Unto the utmost. Who will save his folk
From vengeful ire of the tyrant? Six are these,
Perfectly sad, and steady, and at ease.
Self-slain, they shall save others from the yoke.
Seven then are these found faithful unto death;
From Calais six; and one from Nazareth.
