On April 30th, accordingly, the Austrian duke arrived in Brisac and picked up the reins of authority which he had joyfully dropped four years previously. The rabble welcomed his coming with effusion, singing a ready parody of an Easter hymn: "Christ is arisen, the landvogt is in prison, Let us all rejoice, Sigismund is our choice. Kyrie Eleison!
Benedicamus is the prayer to thank God for all His graces. Fidelium animae. This prayer is said after every Hour, unless where the hour is said in choir and followed immediately by Mass. It Is omitted, too, before the Litany. These are prayers which are said at some of canonical Hours, before the collect or oratio. They commence with Kyrie eleison or Pater Noster.
The choristers were uttering the mournful cries of the Kyrie eleison; the priest kissed the altar; turned towards the people and said: "Dominus vobiscum." Romilly; taking in the crowd at a glance, remarked "Chevalier has a full house." "Just look at that Louise Dalle," said Fagette. "To look as though she's in mourning, she has put on a black mackintosh!"
More shooting and more noise was heard in the direction of the convent, followed by cries and the sound of people running. Captain Tiago, Aunt Isabel and Linares entered the room, hurriedly crying "tulisan! tulisan!" Andeng followed them, brandishing a spit and ran toward her foster sister. Aunt Isabel fell on her knees and prayed the Kyrie eleison.
Thereupon the speaker has asked: "In what consisted the said diversity of language?" that of Greek she knew nothing but a Kyrie eleison, of which she made great use; of Latin, nothing, save Amen, which she said to God, wishing therewith to obtain her liberty.
Master Christian seated himself at the piano, to accompany her, and commenced a prelude. The first notes of the young girl were like a gentle murmur. By degrees her voice became firmer and stronger, until at the end of each strophe the word eleïson rose like a sonorous hymn to heaven. The measure was remarkably slow, simple, and full of a tranquil melody.
Before the canticle are said the opening words of the antiphon, "Salva nos"; and it is repeated in full at the end. "Save us, O Lord, while we are awake, and guard us when we sleep, that we may watch with Christ and rest in peace." The prayers, Kyrie eleison, Christie eleison, etc., are said always except when a double office or a day within an octave has been commemorated at Vespers.
A burst of music answered her, . . music that rushed wind-like downwards and swept in strong vibrating chords over the land, again the "KYRIE ELEISON! CHRISTE ELEISON! KYRIE ELEISON!" pealed forth in the same full youthful-toned chorus that had before sounded so mysteriously outside Elzear's hermitage and the separate crimson rays glittering aurora-wise about her radiant figure, suddenly melted all together in the form of a great cross, which, absorbing moon and stars in its fiery redness, blazed from end to end of the eastern horizon!
Mere iteration, as such, is barren of spiritual power; witness the endless sayings over of Kyrie Eleison in the Oriental service-books, a species of vain repetition which a liturgical writer of high intelligence rightly characterizes as "unmeaning, if not profane."
As they advanced with the rapidity and steadiness of veterans, singing the Kyrie eleison, they seemed well able to retrieve the fortunes of the day. "Another triumph awaits us!" cried Otto; "let us trust in God!" Without hesitating a moment, the gallant Saxon, with his wonted impetuosity, fell upon the advancing lines, and, though stubbornly resisted for a time, gained at last a complete victory.
