Religious poetry comprised lyric fragments, which were introduced into the lives of the saints and there formed a kind of Christian saga, or else were based on Holy Writ, like the Lamentation of Eve; hymns in honor of the saints, like The Hymn to St. Michael, by Mael Isu; pieces such as the famous Hymn of St.
Her weakness lay in the fact that she was dazzled by anything that had an aristocratic air. When she was alone with her mother she said: "Mamma, we will go to-morrow to Father Douillard's retreat." Every Friday evening at nine o'clock the choicest of Alcan society assembled in the aristocratic church of St. Mael for the Reverend Father Douillard's retreat.
I will go and find the holy Mael and I will say to him: 'I am the virgin destined by Heaven to overthrow the dragon." At these words Kraken exclaimed: "How can you be that pure virgin? And why do you want to overthrow me, Orberosia? Have you lost your reason? Be sure that I will not allow myself to be conquered by you!"
Orberosia, having clothed herself in a robe made of coarse stuff and girt herself with a thick cord, went to the monastery and asked to speak to the blessed Mael.

"Do not speak in this way, Brother Regimental," answered old Mael.
As for the purity of this holy girl here, I would put my hand in the fire in witness of it." * We have vainly sought for this phrase in Pliny's "Natural History." He spoke thus because he was the Devil. But old Mael did not know it. He asked the pious Orberosia: "My daughter, how, would you proceed to conquer so fierce an animal as he who devoured you?"
