CCXCII.

When the Emperor Carle had wreaked his full revenge,

He called the bishops from the realms of France,

And from Baviere, and those of Alemaigne:

"Now in my [court] have I a captive, sprung

From noble race. Such sermons has she heard,

So good examples seen, she will believe

In the true God, and Christian faith embrace.

Baptize her so that He may save her soul;

God-mothers choose her of our noblest dames."

With a great company the Baths at Aix

Were thronged, and soon before the holy Fonts

The Queen received the name of Juliane:

Henceforth a Christian holding fast the Truth.

Aoi.
