"And now, a full cup of wine!" "To drink in my very face wine that was mine! To court and caress before my own eyes that impure woman who was my wife!" murmured the bishop. "Oh, monstrous! These are the signs that foretell frightful calamities about to afflict the earth." Three of the Vagres were wounded. The hermit attended them with so much skill that he might have been taken for a physician.
They imagined they saw the fires of heaven roll down upon the Vagres, who could be sacrilegious enough to put to the sack and fire the house of the vice-regent of God on earth, their holy bishop. And what is Ronan doing?
"'As he placed this charter in my hand the bishop added: "Now, monk, make good use of this donation and prevent the Vagres from ravaging my diocese." "'While the bishop was saying these words to me, some fugitive slaves rushed in and announced to him the approach of your troop.
The eight teams of oxen were to furnish the roast for the gigantic feast, because gigantic it was to be seeing that the troop of Vagres had gathered many recruits on the route slaves, artisans, laborers and colonists, all of whom were enraged with misery, without counting a number of young women, all of whom were eager to run the Vagrery. What delightful feasts are those held in Vagrery!
His leudes followed his example; they, in turn, took to their mounts, and leaving their arms behind in the banquet hall, fled tumultuously, repeating in terror: "The demons! The demons!" The episcopal villa has been invaded by the Vagres. They carried the place, and they did so without striking a blow. Who is he who is celebrating night mass in the bishop's chapel?
"Here we have for you linen, cloth, dresses, covers, mattresses, bags of grain, full pouches, provisions of all sorts. Give, my Vagres! Give, Odille, to these poor people! Give, bishopess of the Vagrery! Give and give again!" "Take take, sisters!" said the bishopess with eyes moist with compassionate tears, as she helped the Vagres to distribute the booty taken at her house. "Take, sisters!
Come come along I pity you lean upon my arm you are about to faint " "Alas! Where do these accursed Vagres propose to take me?" "That does not concern you mend your ways repent!" "My God! My God! And there is no hope of being delivered on the road! Oh! We live in frightful days!" "And who is it that made these days what they are, if not you, princes of the Church? Oh!
And let us live in joy 'Wolves, 'Wolves' Heads' and Wand'ring men! Vagres that we are! Let us live in summer under the green foliage, and in winter in caverns warm! "Death unto oppressors! Freedom to the slave! Let us take from the seigneurs! Let us give unto the poor! "What! A hundred kegs of wine in the master's cellar, and only the water of the stream for the wornout slave? "What!
"Jesus said: 'Woe to the hardened hearts! Mercy to those who repent!" "Insolent monk, dare you accuse me!" "Hermit, good friend, you hear the 'holy' man you perceive his repentance what shall be done, my Vagres?" "Brothers, if you love me, grant me the bishop's life!" "The bishop made us suffer. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!" "Will vengeance wipe out your past sufferings?
The colonists are to be recognized as free in fact and by right, they and their descendants. Obtain the donation for me from King Clotaire, and the troop of Vagres, instead of becoming a source of terror to the region, will be a source of security to your diocese." Such was the conversation.
