Sous un habit de mezzetin Ce gros brun au riant visage Sur la guitarre avec sa main Fait un aimable badinage. Par les doux accords de sa voix Enfants d'une bouche vermeille Du beau sexe tant
"There it is, neighbor; but you will take good care of it? I have burned all the billets doux which M. Cabrion and M. Girandeau wrote me at the commencement of our acquaintance, with bleeding hearts and doves on the top of the paper; but this poor letter of Germain, I will take good care of; it and others also, if he writes them.
To say so would be an outrage in this age of militarism. And what would all the Queens of Beauty think, from Sir Wilfred Ivanhoe's days to ours, if mighty warriors ceased to poke each other in the ribs, and send one another's souls untimely to the 'viewless shades, for the sake of their 'doux yeux? Ah! who knows how many a mutilation, how many a life, has been the price of that requital?
"Well, Madame," resumed Scudery, "I now declare it in your house: this work, printed under my name, is by my sister she who translated 'Sappho' so agreeably." And without being asked, he recited in a declamatory tone verses ending thus: L'Amour est un mal agreable Don't mon coeur ne saurait guerir; Mais quand il serait guerissable, Il est bien plus doux d'en mourir.
Martin, in the dress of a conscript, sang six long couplets against the tyrants of the seas; of which I was only able to retain the following one: Je deteste le peuple anglais, Je deteste son ministere; J'aime l'Empereur des Francais, J'aime la paix, je hais la guerre; Mais puisqu'il faut la soutenir Contre une Nation Sauvage, Mon plus doux, mon plus grand desir Est de montrer tout mon courage.

"The hows and whens of life" corrugate his features, and disharmonize his periods; contradiction sours, and passion ruffles him and, in short, an Englishman displeased, from whatever cause, is neither "un homme bien doux," nor "un homme bien aimable;" but such as nature has made him, subject to infirmities and sorrows, and unable to disguise the one, or appear indifferent to the other.
Another man looks at the book over the lady's shoulder, and two little children's faces appear at her knee. The verses are as follows: Pour nous prouver que cette belle Trouve l'hymen un noeud fort doux Le peintre nous la peint fidelle À suivre le ton d'un Époux.
"She'll put the evil eye on you if you don't take care." "She ought to be burnt," said Mrs. Tom. "All the same," said Tom musingly, "she's got money, so you'd best be as civil to her as she'll let you." "Mon Dieu! My flesh creeps still at the way she looked at me. She has the evil eye without a doubt." And Grannie? "Mai grand doux! What does a woman like that want here?" said she.
The diversities of tongues and their irreducible aesthetic values, begins with the very sound of the letters, with the mode of utterance, and the characteristic inflections of the voice; notice, for instance, the effect of the French of these lines of Alfred de Musset, Jamais deux yeux plus doux n'ont du ciel le plus pur Sondé la profondeur et réfléchi l'azur.
