The latter was in his surplice, and chanted a 'Veni Creator, Salve Regina, and Tantum ergo'. These prayers over, he pronounced the blessing of the Holy Sacrament, while the marquise knelt with her face upon the ground.
So he pursues the list of devotees; her son will tell her that Caesar summarized his conquests in this country by saying Veni, Vidi, Vici; but to her it is given to say, Veni, Videbar, Vici. On two subjects, theology and politics, Madame Novikoff was, as we have seen, passionately in earnest.
Cavalry took a large part in the battle. XXXVII. Vacui. Free from apprehension. Ni. Cf. note 4: ni. Subita belli. Unexpected emergencies arising in the course of the battle. Cf. 6: inania honoris.

Whenever we sing the "Veni Creator" we sing John Dryden.

Presently he opened his lips feebly, and whispered, "Moribundus."
The Veni Creator having been sung, the Archbishop takes the book of the Gospels, on which he places a piece of the true cross, and holds it open before the monarch. Charles X., seated, his head covered, his hand on the Gospels and the true cross, pronounces in a strong voice the oath of coronation:
