"Nos filles dans les monastères, Nos prisonniers dans les cachots. Nos martyrs dont le sang se répand à grands flots, Nos confesseurs sur les galères, Nos malades persécutés, Nos mourants exposés à plus d'une furie, Nos morts traînés à la voierie, Te disent (ô Dieu!) nos calamités."[Back to Main Text]

"Ci gist le mari de Thérèse De la Montespan le Mignon, L'esclave de la Maintenon, Le valet du père La Chaise."

At the death of Louis XIV., Voltaire, an élève of the Jesuits, was appropriately coming into notice. At the age of about twenty he was thrown into the Bastille; for having written a satire on Louis XIV., of which the following is an extract:—

"J'ai vu sous l'habit d'une femme Un démon nous donner la loi; Elle sacrifia son Dieu, sa foi, son âme, Pour séduire l'esprit d'un trop crédule roi.

J'ai vu l'hypocrite honoré: J'ai vu, c'est dire tout, le jésuite adoré: J'ai vu ces maux sous le règne funeste D'un prince que jadis la colère céleste Accorda, par vengeance, à nos désirs ardens: J'ai vu ces maux, et je n'ai pas vingt ans."

Voltaire denied having written this satire.[Back to Main Text]

"Avenge, O Lord, Thy slaughter'd saints, whose bones Lie scattered on the Alpine mountains cold," &c.[Back to Main Text]
