Trope on L'homme armé


To the tune of the 15th cen. French song L'homme armé, most easily found in modern notation  here


CHORUS:
L'homme, l'homme, l'homme armé,
L'homme armé
L'homme armé doibt on doubter, doibt on doubter.

Eastern Tygers take the field
Battle bravely, never yield
Let valor stand revealed

CHORUS

Sure of hand and keen of eye
Archers let your arrows fly
Bows sing a battle cry

CHORUS

Valiant ladies, noble lords
Meet the foe with flashing swords
Defeat the Dragon’s hordes

CHORUS

Armor gleaming in the sun
Tygers fight ‘til battle’s done
And victory fairly won

CHORUS
