Our France's foremost champion: and remember,

In many a hardy fight, the gallant deeds

(For fame has blown them loudly King!) of Ribaumont.

Oft has he put you to't:—nay, late, at Cressy,

Ask of your Black Prince Edward, there, how long

Count Ribaumont and he were point to point.

He has attack'd our foe; reliev'd our people;

Succour'd our town, till cruel disappointment,

Where he had fix'd his gallant heart, did turn him

Wild with despairing love. Old John de Vienne
