Original Text:
LES FAUNES INDISCRETS.
Viens, Chloé, viens ma sœur; docile à mes prières,
La vierge au carquoi d'or a purgé ces clairières
Des faunes et des Taschereaux.
Ainsi parle Nisa. Riant entre les branches
Deux Taschereaux cachés promènent sur ses hanches
La flamme de leur regard faux.
(Poësies fugitives du Comte de Montalembert).

Translation:
THE PRYING FAUNS.
Come Chloe, come my sister; hear my prayer,
The Virgin with the golden hair
Of the Fauns and of the Taschereaux.
Spoke Nisa smiling between the boughs.
Two Taschereaux hidden in the trees
Their passion brings them on their knees.

(Transient poetry by Comte de Montalembert).
