Reading edition

The women, in some instances, refused to take food, by way of shewing their grief for the murder of Henry, and even the men gave way to despondency. “Plusieurs des meilleurs citoyens de la ville,” says Lacretelle; “se sont sentis frappés du coup de la mort, en apprenant cette nouvelle; d’autres, qui expirent plus lentement, se plaignent de survivre trop long tempstemps a ce bon roi.”—Lacretelle “Histoire de France,” pendant les Guerres de Religion, tome iv., p. 385.
