[BRYCE] A RARE FIND IN THE CANADIAN ARCHIVES 21 
Irene receives as warm a welcome as Ulamar could desire. 
[rene is the first to tell them of the return of Beaufort. It had been 
the first care of that “godlike man,” as she calls him, to seek her out 
and tell her of the wonderful discoveries that had been made and the 
happy change that had been brought about in the fortunes of herself 
and Ulamar. He had thereby saved her in her misery from a “dire 
attempt upon her life.” 
Frontenac and Ulamar consult about their future plans and Ulamar 
assures Frontenac that, 
“Before the sun has finished three careers 
The warlike English and the united Iroquois 
Shall hail thee king of all Canadian France.” 
Beaufort now enters; he informs Frontenac that the rallied Angians 
and the English are all within the town. Their presence is best ex- 
plained by Beaufort’s own words; 
“Two hours are scarce elapsed since this brave man 
To me despatched a messenger express [meaning Miramont. 
Inviting me to come and save Ulamar, 
And for my entrance gave a certain signal. 
I on the wings of warmest friendship flew.” 
Frontenac enquires of Miramont the state of mind of his French 
troops. 
Miramont replies: 
“They with the English and the Angians unite 
And peace and joy on all their looks appear. 
Impatiently they wait for your consent 
To cry, Hail Frontenac and liberty!” 
Ulamar makes a complimentary speech thanking his friends 
Beaufort and Miramont for all that they have done for him and on 
behalf of liberty. Beaufort utters the closing sentiments: 
“To Heaven unanimously praise be given 
And thankful for this wonderfu! deliverance 
Resolve that Heaven alone shall o’er you rule, 
And cast not off your Maker’s sway for man’s. 
Be governed still by nature and by law 
And let your monarch still be God’s vice-gerent 
And execute his Master’s will, not his. 
Thus governed we are absolutely free 
Heaven and good kings give perfect we 
; May all France like you 
Have their eyes opened and with horror see 
How to their tyrant’s will they offer up
