But beneath the low archOf its doorway there stoodA pale priest of Rome, In his cloak and his hood. With the bound of a lion, La Tour sprang to land, On the throat of the PapistHe fastened his hand.
"Speak, son of the WomanOf scarlet and sin!What wolf has been prowlingMy castle within?"From the grasp of the soldierThe Jesuit broke, Half in scorn, half in sorrow, He smiled as he spoke: "No wolf, Lord of Estienne, Has ravaged thy hall, But thy red-handed rival, With fire, steel, and ball!On an er...rand of mercyI hitherward came, While the walls of thy castleYet spouted with flame.
"Pentagoet's dark vesselsWere moored in the bay, Grim sea-lions, roaringAloud for their prey. ""But what of my lady?"Cried Charles of Estienne. "On the shot-crumbled turretThy lady was seen: "Half-veiled in the smoke-cloud, Her hand grasped thy pennon, While her dark tresses swayedIn the hot breath of cannon!But woe to the heretic, Evermore woe!When the son of the churchAnd the cross is his foe!
"In the track of the shell, In the path of the ball, Pentagoet swept overThe breach of the wall!Steel to steel, gun to gun, One moment, --and thenAlone stood the victor, Alone with his men!
