A ces Francais brulants de gloire, Dotes de quatre sous par jour, Qui des rois, des heros font fleurir la memoire, Esclaves couronnes des mains de la victoire, Troupeaux malheureux que la cour Dirige au seul bruit du tambour. "That was my fated term. A deserter from our troops got eye on me, recognised me and denounced me.
He once said: "Je suis trop vieux; on ne devrait pas vieillir, mais que faire? c'est le seul moyen de devenir vieux. Un vieillard m'a toujours paru un personnage terrible et inutile, mais me voici un vieillard sans le savoir et je n'en suis pas triste."

It has a black marble slab in front, and a bust in the yard with the following inscription: "Je ne dois qu'a moi seul toute ma renommee." The great man lies buried in the beautiful church of St. Roch, where a tablet is erected to his memory.
Lipsius, who has collected these testimonies, thinks them too strong to be doubted perhaps even stronger than the rope. Scaliger corroborates all of them; Busbequius saw an elephant dance a pas seul at Constantinople; and Suetonius tells us of twelve elephants, six male and six female, who were clothed like men and women, and performed a country dance, in the reign of Tiberius.
