Ah! what a dangerous gift is a great name!
How happier far a lot unknown to fame!

Vert-Vert (1734)

Désir de fille est un feu qui dévore;
Désir de nonne est cent fois pis encore.

Vert-Vert (1734)

In the pages of many an author I read
That to travel too much is an error indeed;
We rarely become any better, they say,
For a wandering life only leads us astray.
