“The sacred armies, and the godly knight,
That the great sepulchre of Christ did free,
I sing”

Torquato Tasso (1544–1595) Italian poet

Canto I, stanza 1 (tr. Edward Fairfax)
Gerusalemme Liberata (1581)
Context: The sacred armies, and the godly knight,
That the great sepulchre of Christ did free,
I sing; much wrought his valor and foresight,
And in that glorious war much suffered he;
In vain 'gainst him did Hell oppose her might,
In vain the Turks and Morians armed be:
His soldiers wild, to brawls and mutinies prest,
Reduced he to peace, so Heaven him blest.
