[[foreign: French]] Aux Lis répandus sur son sein, Je ne crus voir qu'Aglaé même. Ainsi dans les plus doux plaisirs Je cédais a vos seules armes; Mon coeur n'éprouvait de desirs Que par l'image de vos charmes. Iris, Thémire, et Danaé Ont en vain reçu mon hommage; N'en doutez point belle Aglaé, [[underline]] Jamais mon coeur ne fut volage. [[/underline]] [[/foreign]] How empty learning, and how vain is art But as it mends the Life, and guides the heart What volumes have been swell'd, what time ˄ [[addition]] been [[/addition]] spent To fix a Hero's birthday or descent What Joy must it now yeild, what raptures raise To see the glorious race of ancient days? Alas! a nearer care your soul demands Ceasar un-noted in your presence stands!
