Original Text:
LÉANDRE.
Chaque nuit, peut vêtu, mais de façon galante,
Et comptant sur son bras de fer.
Il traversait un bras de mer
Pour aller se jeter dans ceux de son amante.

Byron poésies très mélées.

Translation:
LEANDER.
Each night, little dressed but in noble fashion,
He was counting on his arms of iron
And swam with might across the seas
To have her love fulfill his pleas.

(Byron, rather mixed poems)
