Among the missionaries sent into Gaul by S. Fabian, Bishop of Rome, about the year 245, was S. Lucian. He devoted himself to his duties with unwearied diligence, till he was put to death at Beauvais, in the persecution which raged under Julian the Prefect.'Tis tardy morning, and the silent funHis course hath just begun;Soft fleecy clouds tinged with the rosebud's hueHerald his coming new,While here and there thin streaks of lingering nightFloat in the sea of light;The thrilling summons of that scene so sweetHath roused all nature up the Lord of day to greet.
