21. "_Fortune, Infortune, Fort une._"--In the church of Notre Dame de
Brou, near the town of Bourg, in the department de l'Ain, the following
inscription is engraved on the tomb of Marguerite d'Autriche, the wife
of Philibert le Beau, Prince of Savoy:--
"Fortune, Infortune, Fort une."
In this epitaph, the first two words are intelligible enough, and allude
to certain reverses of fortune which had chequered the life of the
princess; but the expression _fort une_ reads somewhat enigmatical, and
I shall be obliged to any of your readers who can give the meaning of
it.
