Страница 28 - Heureux qui près de toi pour toi seule soupire, Qui jouit du plaisir de t'entendre parler, Qui te voit quelquefois doucement lui sourire ! Les Dieux dans son bonheur peuvent-ils l'égaler ? Je sens de veine en veine une subtile flamme Courir par tout mon corps, sitôt que je te vois.
Страница 19 - Proud of their strength and more than mortal size, The gods they challenge, and affect the skies; Heav'd on Olympus tottering Ossa stood; On Ossa, Pelion nods with all his wood: Such were the youths ! had they to manhood grown, Almighty Jove had trembled on his throne.
