"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.

"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!
