MEMOIR

OF

COUNT DE MONTALEMBERT

"On his brest a bloodie crosse he bore,

The deare remembrance of his dying Lord,

For whose sweete sake that glorious badge he wore,

And dead, as living, ever him ador'd:

Upon his shield the like was also scor❜d,

For soveraine hope which in his helpe he had,
Right-faithful true he was in deede and word."

-SPENSER.
