and the Roman prayer _Deus qui victrices Moysi_ is said, and finally the archbishop kisses the king, saying _Vivat Rex in aeternum_, and the cry is taken up by the Peers. The Mass, as in the English corresponding rite, is a Mass for the king, and before the Pax the benedictions _Benedicat tibi Deus custodiatque_, _Clerum ac populum_ and _Quatenus divinis monitis_ are said over king and people. The king communicates, as did the French kings always at a coronation, in both kinds[102]. The queen’s coronation begins with the prayers _Adesto Domine supplicationibus_, _Omn. aeterne Deus fons et origo_, _Deus qui solus habes_ and _Omn. semp. Deus hanc famulam_. She is anointed on head and breast as of old, _In nomine_, etc., and then follow _Spiritus sancti gratia_ and _Deus Pater aeternae gloriae_. The Ring is given with the form _Accipe anulum_, as in the second recension, followed by _Deus cuius est omnis potestas_; the Verge with the form _Accipe virgam_ and the prayer _Omn. semp. Deus affluentem_. Lastly she is crowned with the form of the second recension, and the prayer follows _Omnium Domine fons bonorum_. After the sacring of the queen the benediction of the Oriflamme takes place. This order remained in use, with small and unimportant variations, as long as the monarchy lasted in France. But the coronation of the queen was dispensed with for some reason. The last queen to be anointed and crowned was Marie de Médicis in 1610, and probably a sacring took place in her case only because there was every prospect of her being left Regent and so virtual monarch. V NAPOLEON The rite by which Napoleon[103] was crowned stands by itself. The arrangement was that he should be crowned according to the rite of the Roman Pontifical, but at the last moment changes were introduced from the French rite itself.
