UKE OF ORLEANS. Charles was taken prisoner at the battle of Agin-court in 1415. His poetry appears to have beenprincipally written during his stay in England, andis contained in a large and splendid folio MS. in theBritish Museum [Kings MSS. 16. F. II.]. The illu-minations are curious, particularly one which con-tains a view of the Tower of London. It representsthe reception and dismission of a messenger by theduke, and immediately precedes a short poem, inwhich he writes to his correspondent (mon frereet mon compagnon ), that he was promised libertyto go to France if he could find security for hisreturn; and desires an application to be made tothe duke of Burgundy. A few of the songs are inEnglish; and though they show considerable pro-ficiency in a foreign language, they are no very fa-vourable specimens of the authors capacity of em-ploying it for poetic composition. N est elle de tous biens garnie,Celle que jayme loyaument?II m est avis, par mon serment,Que sa pareille n a en vie;.
