Last Line: WITH MANY A DEMON UNDER .. AND VOLTAIRE.
Subject(s): JOAN OF ARC (1412-1431);
O Maid of @3Arc!@1 why dare I not to say
Of @3Orleans?@1 There thro' flames thy glory shone.
Accursed, thrice accursed, be the day
When English tongues could mock thy parting groan.

With Saints and Angels art thou seated now,
And with true-hearted patriots, host more rare!
To thine is bent in love a Milton's brow,
With many a Demon under .. and Voltaire.
