Les Amours de Cassandre: CLX
Now, when Jupiter, fired by his lusts,
Wants to conceive the jewels of his eyes,
And with the heat of his burning thighs
Fills Juno's moist womb with his thrusts:
Now, when the sea, or when violent gusts
Of wind grant way to great ships of war,
And when the nightingale, in forest far,
Renews her grievance against Tereus:
Now, when the meadows and when the flowers
With thousands upon thousands of colours
Paint the breast of the earth so bright all round,
Alone and
thoughtful
among the secret cliffs,
With a silent heart I tell over my regrets,
And through the woods I go, hiding my wound.

And all admired his

Contre un gigantesque remous
Qui va chantant comme les fous
Et pirouettant dans les tenebres;
Un malheureux ensorcele
Dans ses tatonnements futiles,
Pour fuir d'un lieu plein de reptiles,
Cherchant la lumiere et la cle;
Un damne descendant sans lampe,
Au bord d'un gouffre dont l'odeur
Trahit l'humide profondeur,
D'eternels escaliers sans rampe,
Ou veillent des monstres visqueux
Dont les larges yeux de phosphore
Font une nuit plus noire encore
Et ne rendent
visibles
qu'eux;
Un navire pris dans le pole,
Comme en un piege de cristal,
Cherchant par quel detroit fatal
Il est tombe dans cette geole;
--Emblemes nets, tableau parfait
D'une fortune irremediable,
Qui donne a penser que le Diable
Fait toujours bien tout ce qu'il fait!
