They had done this kind of work before, and each knew his part. Presently Antipater called two of them. "Bring that girl Cyran she that chants of her new king," said he, as they ran to do his bidding. "Noble prince, the strange god is again at work in me," said Vergilius, with rising ire. "I could not bear to see you put her with the leopard; I should rather face him myself."
"You living carrion!" said the young knight, turning and walking away. "I am done with you." He took the hand of the poor slave Cyran, and walked to the farther side of the atrium. He turned, still white with anger as if unsatisfied. "Pet of harlots!" said he, fiercely. "It is time for some one to stand for the honor of good women.
It was D’Andilly who said of St Cyran, “I was under such obligations to him that I loved him more than life.” On the other hand, St Cyran said of him, “He has not the virtue of a saint or an anchorite, but I know no man of his condition who is so solidly virtuous.”

M. de St Cyran is not merely one of the chief figures connected with Port Royal: he was the fountain-head of its special power. To his influence and teaching it was indebted for its chief glory and its most terrible sufferings. Jean Baptist du Vergier d’Hauranne, better known by the above official designation, was of noble family.
He had been already by an enemy more formidable than the assemblies of the clergy of France. Cardinal Richelieu, naturally attracted towards greatness as he was at a later period towards the infant prodigy of the Pascals, had been desirous of attaching St. Cyran to himself.
M. Arnauld was a great theologian, an indefatigable controversialist, the oracle and guide of his friends in their struggle against the Jesuits; M. de Sacy and M. Singlin were wise and able directors, as austere as M. de St. Cyran in their requirements, less domineering and less rough than he; but M. de St.
"Tell me," said Arria, "have you never felt the great love?" Cyran rose and looked down at her mistress. "I have felt the pain of it," said she, sadly. "And my heart Oh, it is like the house of mourning where Sorrow has hushed the Children of Joy. But the sweet pain of love is dear to me." "Tell me of it." "Good mistress, I cannot tell you."
