forces, German,
French, and Spanish, of the Imperial Army under the command of Charles

revolutionary movements in South America, Italy, and Spain, which were
at their height in 1822.

He lives! he moves! spruce mannikin of fire,
What more can we? what more can earth desire?"

from Sotheby's _Oberon; or, Huon de Bourdeux: A Mask_, published in
1802. For _The Boke of Duke Huon of Burdeux_, done into English by Sir
John Bourchier, Lord Berners, see the reprint issued by the Early
English Text Society (E.S., No. xliii. 1884); and for _Analyse de Huon
de Bordeaux, etc._, see _Les Epopees Francaises_, by Leon Gautier, 1880,
