by Charles de Warwille , as H. T. Poisson

Jeanne de Montfort
Language: French (Français) 
Vois-tu ces emblêmes de mort,
vois-tu ce marbre funéraire ?
Là git le comte de Montfort,
qui fut mon époux et ton père.
Tous deux privés de son appui
près de ta mère désolée
au pied de sombre mausolée
prions, mon fils, prions pour lui !

Toujours brave et jamais heureux,
sans nulles plaintes importunes
ce guerrier fier et généreux
succomba sous ses infortunes.
Tous deux etc.

Ses longs malheurs et sa vertu
ont su m'inspirer du courage
et vaillamment j'ai combattu
pour l'arracher à l'esclavage.
Tous deux etc.
