This desired tomb, in which he is confined, Pours, drop by drop, innocent blood. A thousand evils in his time were done by his cruelty, For which even in Hell each man fears him. This tomb, so long longed for in France! Tomb of the bloodsucker, enemy of God, Who sucked true innocent blood in many places, For which also in Hell he now receives reward! Oh, joyous day on which a hideous death Snatched off this Tyrant, cardinal from Hell, To put him in Great Lucifer's black tomb, Below his mansions, under the shadowy earth! Pierre de L'Estoile, Registre-journal de regne de Henri III
