Or, in modern English, "A shield divided vertically in two, gold and red; left, half of a black eagle ("dimidiated" means "only half-visible," which is a word I'd like to see more of around these parts) emerging from the partition with red beak, claws, and crown; right, a key turned to the left in gold." "Pale" means a vertical band. The full heraldic vocabulary is a fascinating subject in itself, see previous remarks, vide supra, on actual number of people apt to be fascinated by heraldic vocabulary. (There was an English branch of the Forsters, it turns out, whose coat of arms was, "Argent on a chevron vert, between three horns sable." Wouldn't mind that on a coffee mug.)
