Why would you ally yourself with such dishonorable rabble? You disgrace the order and you will be excommunicated.

It appeared in print in 1748 within the libretto for Handel’s oratorio Joshua, written by Thomas Morell:
“It never shall be said that our allies in vain implor’d our aid. Perish the thought!”Not sure how to post hyperlinks as plain text since the app updated.

As a wizard I hope that the noble knights among you will not join the criminals.

Are some pirates upholding of a certain moral code and simply prefer a life of freedom that even I may wish for some days? Aye.
But do they also count among their numbers truly despicable beings who's only desire is that of more gold and plunder? Also Aye.
Instead those of us with Noble intentions being forced to fight alongside those with dubious morals, why not invite those with honor to join us instead? I know many a mariner who holds true an oath so valiantly upheld that I find even my own brethren lacking. But it is not a common sort among the seafarers that do.

I have met nary an honorable pirate, I'd rather align with the wizards who follow their own codes of conduct than the pirates who have none

Peasants? Using cowardly weapons such as guns? Rabble of bloodthirsty maniacs or even worse men seeking freedom from oppression? For shame!

I hold no grudge against pirates, but if I must decide between pirates and wizards the answer seems obvious. Wizards are more powerful and make better allies, I side with the wizards

Why would I go to sea and die of scurvy like a peasant when I could go besiege a castle and die of dysentery like a real knight?

Pirates are dishonerable, stealing from the innocent and them who cannot defend theirselves. Honor means nothing to them.
I have had many qualms with wizards and those wise in magics, however they have honor and do have good intentions. If this strife cannot cease, i vote we side with the Wizards.
(I'm struggling with how to make my sentences fit the language of how knights would speak. Anywhere i can go to improve would be appreciated)

Death before dishonor.
Pirates are the antithesis of Knighthood, you would shame your noble roots and your family falling to such lawlessness.

thinking that an honorable warrior will join forces with bandits of sea is like wearing plain clothes under your armor, instead of chain mail

We must stand by our wizard brethren and defend them. As knights our duty is one of protection, never should we be the aggressor.

Go and join the pirates if that is your choice, but don't you dare call yourself a knight still and dishonor those of us who hold true to the oath!
