Not to Be Shaken

 Do your worst, 

                  I am a Christian. 

              

 Christ is my help and supporter, 

                               

       and thus armed I will never serve your gods 

                         nor do I fear your authority 

                                     or that of your master, the Emperor. 

                                                    

       Commence your torments as soon as you please, 

and make use of every means that your malignity can invent, 

                and you shall find in the end that 

                   

I am not to be shaken from my resolution.

 -Andronicus, Christian martyr
