��JOAX OF FRANCE TO AX EXGLISH SISTER
1. ?*I. Editu Cavell, nurse
" Pitie que estoit au royaume de France'*
Pity had I for my France my land
In the days so far. that be, Pity of heart and pity of hand —
And who had pity on me ? England's daughter, led out to die
For a deed of mercy and truth, Guerdon of helper thou hast as I
From the men that have murdered ruth. Sister of Joan by the pity, the spite,
Joy yet in the pain be thine : We have armed our folk with a quenchless might,
Fire of thy bosom and mine.
— J. II. S.
