XVIII Angelica, when she had won again The ring Brunello had from her conveyed, So waxed in stubborn pride and haught disdain, She seemed to scorn this ample world, and strayed Alone, and held as cheap each living swain, Although, amid the best, by Fame arrayed: Nor brooked she to remember a galant In Count Orlando or king Sacripant; XIX And above every other deed repented, That good Rinaldo she had loved of yore; And that to look so low she had consented, (As by such choice dishonoured) grieved her sore.

She dwelt with Madame de Luxembourg, and married ‘Robert des Armoize.’* The Pere Vignier’s brother, in 1683, published the first, but not the second, of these two accounts in the ‘Mercure Galant’ for November.

But ‘the original copy of this ancient manuscript vanished, with all the papers of Pere Vignier, at his death.’ Two months later, in the spring of 1684, Vienne de Plancy wrote to the ‘Mercure Galant,’ saying that ‘the late illustrious brother’ of the Duc de Grammont was fully persuaded, and argued very well in favour of his opinion, that the actual Pucelle did not die at Rouen, but married Robert des Armoises.

Platonic love and the ton galant were the texts for innumerable follies which finally reacted upon the Samedis.

Our historians all quote, with an admiration almost as misplaced as their horror of Warwick's "barbarous instincts," the _vrai galant homme_ of an Englishman who in the midst of the trial cried out "_Brave femme_!" (it is difficult to translate the words, for _brave_ means more than brave)--"why was she not English?" However we are not concerned to defend the English share of the crime.
