Original text (French)
A woman is always a woman, and will never be anything but a woman as long as the world endures.
Men often marry in hasty recklessness and repent afterward all their lives.
Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth,
When thought is speech, and speech is truth.
