Then it was that consideration and respect unto so remarkable a valour first stopped the torrent of his fury, and that his clemency, beginning with these three cavaliers, was afterwards extended to all the
remaining inhabitants of the city.

Edward, Prince of Wales [Edward, the Black Prince. D. W.] (the same who so long governed our Guienne, a personage whose condition and fortune have in them a great deal of the most notable and most considerable parts of grandeur), having been highly incensed by the Limousins, and taking their city by assault, was not, either by the cries of the people, or the prayers and tears of the women and children, abandoned to slaughter and prostrate at his feet for mercy, to be stayed from prosecuting his revenge; till, penetrating further into the town, he at last took notice of three French gentlemen,--[These were Jean deVillemure, Hugh de la Roche, and Roger de Beaufort.--Froissart,i. c. 289. {The city was Limoges. D. W.}]--who with incredible bravery alone sustained the power of his victorious army. - P11

The Essays of Montaigne

By
Michel de Montaigne

BOOK THE FIRST

CHAPTER I -----THAT MEN BY VARIOUS WAYS ARRIVE AT THE SAME END.

The most usual way of appeasing the indignation of such as we have any way offended, when we see them in possession of the power of revenge, and find that we absolutely lie at their mercy, is by submission, to move them to move them to consideration and pity; and yet bravery, constancy, and resolution, however quite contrary means, have sometimes served to produce the same effect.---[Florio‘s version begins thus; " The most vsuall waie to appease those minds wee have offended, when revenge lies in their hands, and that we stand at their metcie, is by submission to move them to commiseration and pity: Nevertheless, courage, constancie, and resolution (means altogether opposite) have sometimes wrought the same effect"---] [The spelling is Florieo‘s D.W.]
