And secured by a firman, and Hatti-Scheriff;

So that France and the Latin Communions outwitted,

And as—secondly—France is now put in the worst place

In the matter, whereon she and Russia fell out;

And as—in the third place—the Sultan has granted

All we asked by a Firman, which clearly maintains

The rights of our Church, which was all we e'er wanted;
