will be well placed
to inherit His kingdom.

The wicked ones will stay behind.
They should not be chosen;
if they are bad today,
they will be worse tomorrow.
Day after day, they will go from
Kingdom to Empire.1The verb "empirer" means "to get worse"; this is a play on words, suggesting that those who do not answer God's call are going from bad to worse

May the King, who led
the Three Kings to Bethlehem,
compel every crusader
who is set to embark,
so they they may deprive
the Sultan of joy and pleasure,
and so that good music and
song may come of it.

The End.
