Original Text:
ÉNÉE AUX ENFERS.
Horreur! il aperçoit la femme qui l'adore,
Un poignard dans le cœur et les yeux pleins d'émoi;
Qui d'un geste charmant que la pudeur décore,
Lui dit: cher bien aimé, je me fiche de toi!

(Eneïde trad. de M. Trognon.)

Translation:
AENEAS IN THE UNDERWORLD.
Oh horror! He spies the woman who adores him!
A dagger in her heart and her eyes filled with emotion;
Who, with a charming gesture, adorned with modesty's whim,
Says: dear beloved, I don't give a damn about your devotion.
