337.Ballad on the Rising of the Vendée.

—Who is the author of a modern ballad on the Rising of the Vendée, of which the last lines are—

"We crush'd, like ripen grapes, Montreuil, we tore down old Vetier—

We charged them with our naked breasts, and took them with a cheer—

We'll hunt the robbers through the land, from Seine to sparkling Rhone.

Now 'Here's a health to all we love: our King shall have his own!'"

D. B. J.
