But yet cheer up, I long expected have
The Lion of the North will come to save
Both me and mine, and will great Wonders do,
Protecting of these Lands from overthrow.
The Chicken of the Eagle will appear,
And vanquish all my Foes both far and near;
When you of him have Tidings, weep no more,
For your Redemption then is at the door.
I can't stay longer; here my Eye doth glance,
To pity my poor Children too in France:
But should I dive into their State, I fear
I should want strength their miseries to bear.
