M. Benserade


AN IMPROVISO TRANSLATION OF THE FOLLOWING LINES OF M. BENSERADE A SON LIT.

Theatre des ris, et des pleurs,
Lit! oł je nais, et oł je meurs,
Tu nous fais voir comment voisins
Sont nos plaisirs, et nos chagrins.

In bed we laugh, in bed we cry, And, born in bed, in bed we die; The near approach a bed may show Of human bliss to human woe.
