Polyeucte is a French tragedy written by Pierre Corneille and first performed in 1643. The play is set in ancient Armenia and revolves around the character of Polyeucte, a nobleman who converts to Christianity despite the objections of his wife, Pauline, and the governor of the region, Felix. Polyeucte's conversion leads to a series of conflicts and ultimately his martyrdom. The play explores themes of faith, loyalty, and sacrifice, and is considered one of Corneille's most powerful works. It is also noted for its poetic language and dramatic intensity.POLY. Ah, how my heart quails at that single word! Thee, Felix, I o'ercame within my cell, Laughed at thy threats if death and torture fell; Yet hast thou still one arm to rouse my fears, The rest I scorn, but dread thy daughter's tears! One only talisman remains; great God, 'tis mine, Sufficient for my every need His strength divine!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
