Thus was he thinking of her as he turned his steps toward Havre; and, as he had never reflected seriously upon anything, instead of thinking of the invincible obstacles which separated him from his lady-love, he busied himself only with finding a rhyme for the Christian name she bore. Mademoiselle Godeau was called Julie, and the rhyme was found easily enough.
I have spoken of his love of mortification, and a short extract from the funeral discourse pronounced over his remains will show to what extent he practised it. Godeau says: "Our virtuous Bishop up to the very last years of his life, slept either on a bed of vine shoots, or on boards, or on straw.
"No, I am completely ignorant of it, unless it is to be as rich as she." "Something more is necessary, my boy; you must have a name." "Well! my name is Croisilles."

Should he present himself a second time at the mansion of the fermier-général, it was but too certain that M. Godeau would have him ejected.
About the middle of the seventeenth century the French episcopacy possessed among its members a dwarf renowned for his intelligence. This diminutive man, called Godeau, made such a success in literature that by the grace of Richelieu he was named the Archbishop of Grasse. He died in 1672. Fleury and Garry, the actors. Pliny also speaks of them as preserved in their coffins.
There was between the two holy Prelates a community of intelligence and of life.
