The Armed Man

L’homme armé doit on douter.
On a fait partout crier,
que chacun se viegne armer
d’un haubregon de fer.
L’homme armé doit on douter.
[1]

The armed man should be feared.
Everywhere it has been proclaimed
That each man shall arm himself
With a coat of iron mail.
The armed man should be feared.

 

[1] Johannes Regis, c.1470
