EXTRACTS FROM THE "ODE TO LOUIS XIII."

Stanza 3, line 1. _Centième._ He dates the Huguenot trouble from a

century. It may be said to have originated in the placards threatening

the defilement of the Sacrament, placards which appeared in the streets

of Paris in 1525.

Stanza 2, line 3. _Le nom de Juste._ Louis XIII had no particular

affectation of that title: it is rather a reminiscence of his distant

collatoral and namesake who closed the fifteenth century.

Last stanza, line 1. _Toutes les autres morts._ He has just been

speaking of death in battle against the factions.
