"Umbriel, a l'instant, vieil gnome rechigne, Va d'une aile pesante et d'un air renfrogne Chercher en murmurant la caverne profonde, Ou loin des doux raions que repand l'oeil du monde La Deesse aux Vapeurs a choisi son sejour, Les Tristes Aquilons y sifflent a l'entour, Et le souffle mal sain de leur aride haleine Y porte aux environs la fievre et la migraine.

"Finissons sans trouble, et mourons sans regrets, En laissant l'univers, comble de nos bienfaits.

The marquis listened with rapture to this improvised poem of the king.

* The tragedy of Brutus was interdicted on account of these two lines: "Arreter un romain sur de simple soupcons, "C'est agir en tyrans, nous qui les punissons." That of Mahomet for the following: "Exterminez, grands dieux, de la terre ou nous sommes "Quiconque avec plaisir repand le sang des hommes."
