Ad?la?de Paro?t faite-expr?s pour charmer; Et mieux que le galant Ovide, Ses yeux enseignent l'art d'aimer Ad?la?de.
D'Ad?la?de Ah! que l'empire semble doux! Qu'on me donne un nouvel Alcide, Je gage qu'il file aux genoux D'Ad?la?de.
D'Ad?la?de Fuyez le dangereux accueil: Tous les enchantemens d'Armide Sont moins ? craindre qu'un coup d'oeil D'Ad?la?de.
D'Ad?la?de Quand l'Amour eut form? les traits, Ma fois, dit-il, la cour de Gnide N'a rien de pareil aux attraits D'Ad?la?de.
Ad?la?de, Lui dit-il, ne nous quittons pas: Je suis aveugle, sois mon guide; Je suivrai partout pas ? pas Ad?la?de.
TRANSLATION.
Than Adelaide No softer thraldom could we meet: Alcides' self would think it sweet, To spin his task out at the feet Of Adelaide.
From Adelaide And all her dang'rous beauties fly;-- Armida's charms and witchery Were far less fatal than the eye Of Adelaide.
Of Adelaide When Cupid first the features fram'd, "In Cnidus' court," he loud proclaim'd, "Not one for beauty shall be fam'd Like Adelaide."
"O Adelaide!" The sightless boy enraptur'd cried, "Alas, I'm blind! Be thou my guide; From henceforth I'll ne'er leave the side Of Adelaide."
When this singular specimen of the fine arts was first displayed to the partial eyes of Melicent's parents, it met with no small admiration from them. A showy frame was bought, in which it was hung up over the chimney-piece of their usual sitting-room, and the fond mother gazed at it from morning till night. When Colonel Desmond returned from abroad, this was the first object, that, after showing her nine healthy, handsome children, she directed his attention to. He did not then express all the horror he felt at the contrast it afforded; but in about six months' negociation with considerable difficulty accomplished its being safely deposited in his port-folio.
Qu'Ad?la?de Met d'ame et de gout dans son chant! Aux accens de sa voix timide Chacun dit rien n'est si touchant, Qu'Ad?la?de!
