Lays of ancient Rome, with Ivry, and The Armada;. lian the cornet white hath taen,The cornet white with crosses black, the flag of false with it high ; unfurl it wide ; that all the host may knowHow God hath humbled the proud house which wrought His church such on the ground, while trumpets sound their loudest point of war,Fling the red shreds, a footcloth meet for Henry of Navarre.

Philip, send, for charity, thy Mexican pistoles,That Antwerp monks may sing a mass for thy poor spearmens ! gallant nobles of the League, look that your arms be bright;Ho ! burghers of Saint Genevieve, keep watch and ward to-night. i8o IVRY: A SONG OF THE HUGUENOTS.
