Sting - "...men say that the Kinge of Spain..." lyrics

spoken: ...men say that the king of Spain is making great preparation to come for England this next summer, where if it pleased your honor to advise me I would most willingly lose my life against them, most humbly beseeching your honor to pardon my ill writing...and to think that I desire to serve my country, and hope to hear of your good opinion of me. From Nuremberg, this tenth of November 1595. Your honor's most bounden forever, John Dowland
