has seen fit to deprive us

Gustavus Adolphus...

while Sweden is in the midst
of a grievous war.

For 14 years our arms have served
in the field...

against our enemies.

:01:51

And in this dark hour, we still fight on...

:01:54

for the Protestant cause of our country.

:01:57

Our King is dead...

:01:59

but his spirit still lives in us...

:02:02

and in his child, Christina.

brought up this child as a boy...
