EPIGRAPH: “Poor race of men!” said the pitying Spirit,
“Dearly ye pay for your primal fall:
Some flowerets of Eden ye still inherit,
But the trail of the Serpent is over them all!”

EPIGRAPH: Amour, fléau du monde, exécrable folie,
Toi qu'un lien si f relè à la volupté He,
Quand par tant d'autres noeuds tu tiens à la douleur,
Si jamais, par les yeux d'une femme sana coeur.
Tu peux m'entrer au ventre etm'empoisonner l'ame,
Ainsi que d*une piale on arraohe une lame,
Plutòt que comme un làche on me voie en souffrir,
Je t'en arracherai, quand j'en devrais mourir.
