A LA CHABOT. <br /> <br />Object adorable et charmant! <br />Mes souspirs et mes pleurs tesmoignent mon torment; <br />Mais mon respect m'empeche de parler. <br />Ah! que peine dissimuler! <br />Et que je souffre de martyre, <br />D'aimer et de n'oser le dire! <br /> <br /> TO THE SAME AYRE IN ENGLISH, THUS, <br /> <br />Object adorable of charms! <br />My sighs and tears may testifie my harms; <br />But my respect forbids me to reveal. <br />Ah, what a pain 'tis to conceal! <br />And how I suffer worse then hell, <br />To love, and not to dare to tell!<br /><br />Richard Lovelace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-la-chabot/
