| During the Early Middle Ages communities were split between bondmen and freemen. |
| These bondmen were not, like slaves, the property of their masters. |
| The bondmen are free in the isles of the main!The chains from their limbs they are flinging! |
| But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king's damage. |
| Egypt, in fact, was not peopled by an independent nation, but by bondmen. |
| Of all these facts the bondmen of Georgia had full knowledge. |
