A phœnix, that shall make all France afeard.”

And York, on the haughty summons of Northumberland and Clifford, declares (3 Hen. VI., act i. sc. 4, l. 35),—

“My ashes, as the Phœnix, may bring forth

A bird that will revenge upon you all.”

In the Phœnix and the Turtle (lines 21 and 49, vol. ix. p. 671), are the lines,—

“Here the anthem doth commence:

Love and constancy is dead;

Phœnix and the turtle fled

In a mutual flame from hence.
