1. Signed lower left of engraving "A. Moitte in. et Su.".
Caption: "LE CARDINAL DE LORRAINE, Bénissant les Assassins de la St. Barthelemie. | Courez et servez bien le Dieu des Nations | Je repand sur vous tous, ses Bénédictions. | Sa justice ici bas vous livre vos victimes;
Know that in heaven he breaks the chain of your crimes; If in this great project one of you expires | God promises his Front the palms of martyrdom."
These verses from the end of the last scene of Act IV do not follow one another: IV, 6, 1405-1406 and 1419-1420.
