The short period of a football song competition tends to produce hasty and careless work; and in future the effort should begin several months ahead.

The competition is nominally closed, but it is not yet too late to put into use words that are dignified--not blatant and boastful--to be sung to some tune that we all know; nor is it too late for men of musical ability to make an effort to turn out a song that will take its place among those of which we are justly proud...

When left alone with her, however, the poet forces himself, by a supreme effort, to keep silence on the subject of the king's command. On the latter's return, Loyse for the first time realizes Gringoire's position, and declares that by the subtlety and sweetness of his conversation he has won her heart. The play ends in the ruin of Olivier and the wedding...
