But you will not make my life shorter " — meaning that he was already, by reason of his wounds, at the point of death. Besme plunged the sword into his breast, and gave him a second blow upon the head. The other soldiers, who had crowded into the room, despatched him with daggers. "Besme!

الصفحة 178 - Coligny who disciplined the unruly soldiery, trying to maintain among them, even in civil war, the virtues of the Christian life ; only for Coligny would the jealous chiefs work in concert ; to the common sense of Coligny only would the fanatic ministers defer their zeal ; he it was, and none other, whom his party trusted.

It is chiefly in this, the last period of his military career, that we ever see his real genius. Crushed at Jarnac, he is ready a week later to take the field again.
