Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Souvenir Gallery: An Illustrated Gift Book for All Seasons; Embellished With Thirteen
When false Lorraine and bloody Guise held most unholy power, And bade War's thunderbolts leap down like lightning in a shower. Like lightning on a midnight cloud, like bellowing thun der's crash, So rung the deadly cannon out, so blazed the lightning flash But ever in the hottest fight was heard Count Voisin's cry, Strike home for Faith and Liberty, strike home for God on high And Montmorency's legions quailed, the Duke of Guise gave way.
