King Louis has summoned,
All the barons and knights.
King Louis asked,
“Who wants to follow me wherever I will go?”The most ardent have prepared themselves,
Have sworn faith, fidelity.
The more cautious have guessed,
Where the King wanted to lead them.Thus spoke the Duke of Baume,
“I will fight for the kingdom.”
The King said to him, “It’s not enough:
We will defend Christendom.”Thus spoke the Lord of Estienne:
“I defend the land of Christendom,
But I do not want to go,
To sow death beyond the sea.”“Ah” said the King, “Our domain,
Extends to the African shores,
Until the furthest deserts.
It’s our fief, and the price of blood.”So, King Louis went away.
The most faithful have followed him.
They have gone far away, far away,
To conquer the divine fiefdom.Let me guess due to this the costs in Australia will go up again.
