SS. Victor and Susanna were peasants at Mouzon, or the neighbourhood,
Victor being the brother and protector of Susanna, a modest and
beautiful girl. The Lord of Mouzon having cast his lustful eyes on
Susanna, endeavoured to deceive her, but her virgin modesty withstood
his threats and promises; and finding her inflexible, in a paroxysm of
rage, he tore out her eyes. Victor, her brother, denounced the tyrant
to his face, and threatened him with the vengeance of the God of the
fatherless, and protector of the poor, whereupon the noble, furious at
being insulted by a vile peasant, ordered his retainers to despatch
him, which they did.
