"Yes, sire," said Chicot simple, kissing his hand. The siege was soon over after this. M. de Vezin was taken, and the garrison surrendered. Then Henri dictated to Mornay a letter, which Chicot was to carry to the king of France. It was written in bad Latin, and finished with these words: "Quod mihi dixisti profuit multum. Cognosco meos devotos; nosce tuos. Chicotos cætera expedit."
It was the one Henri had written after taking Cahors, and it finished with these words: "Quod mihi dixisti profuit multum, cognosco meos devotos; nosce tuos; Chicotus cætera expediet." Which meant, "What you told me was very useful; I know my friends; know yours. Chicot will tell you the rest." The king, highly exasperated, could hardly read the letter which Chicot gave to him.
