Note 32 — THE FRENCH WARS OF RELIGION.[27]
Reading edition
The following couplet, from Oudin's MS. history of the house of Guise, may serve as a specimen of the partisan ditties composed on this occasion:—
"L'an mil cinq cens soixante neuf, Entre Jarnac et Chasteauneuf, Fut porté mort sur une asnesse, Ce grand ennemy de la Messe."
