Va, si tu veux,
chercher
un fiancé stupide;
Cours offrir un coeur vierge à ses cruels baisers;
Et, pleine de remords et d'horreur, et livide,
Tu me rapporteras tes seins stigmatisés.

Child Verse
THE BROOK
TT is the mountain to the sea
^ That makes a
messenger
of me ;
And, lest I loiter on the way
And lose what I am sent to say,
He sets his reverie to song,
And bids me sing it all day long.
