A translation of a poem by Voltaire consisting of nine stanzas of four lines each.
Detailed Summary:
The poem reads: ‘Me to love’s days wou’d you in vite, / Then shew me Love’s forgotten way; / Then join to the cold gloom of Night / Vivacious Morning’s gladd’ning Ray[…] Enamour’d of her modest Grace / The Beams of Comfort o’er me shone, / I follwd her with willing pace / But sigh’d to follow her alone.’
