CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS ORATORY. 



" Look at me ; I am full of life ; be you full of honour ! " And, when victory 

 had declared itself in his favour, he passed along the ranks of his troops, who 

 were massacring the fugitives, and said to them in beseeching tones, " My 

 children, spare the French ! " This generous utterance shows that military 

 oratory needs but a few words to make its influence felt. Henri IV. was at 

 once the most eloquent of warriors and of statesmen.
