Je vous ai regardee pendant toute la soiree. Votre beaute m'a trouble. Votre beaute m'a terriblement trouble, et je vous ai trop regardee. Mais je ne le ferai plus. Il ne faut regarder ni les choses ni les personnes. Il ne faut regarder que dans les miroirs. Car les miroirs ne nous montrent que des masques . . . Oh! Oh! du vin! j'ai soif . . .

The body of the Chevalier de la Beauté was rudely buried on the spot where he fell.
One, which far exceeded all its fellows in size the chief beauty of works of that sort since it was fifteen feet high, and each of the four faces was twelve feet wide at the base, was decorated with a medallion of the royal pair, and bore a poetical inscription commemorating the cause of its erection: "Reine, dont la beauté surpasse les appas Près d'un roi bienfaisant occupe ici la place.
La beaute est parfaite, La beaute peut tout, La beaute est la seule chose qui n'existe pas a demi. Le corbeau ne vole que le jour, Le hibou ne vole que la nuit, Le cygne vole la nuit et le jour.* * Look not at the face, young girl, look at the heart. The heart of a handsome young man is often deformed. There are hearts in which love does not keep.
On the first page of this album one of the toadying parasites of this Lady Bountiful had inscribed the following lines: 'Dans ces beaux lieux, ou regne l'allegresse Ce temple fut ouvert par la Beaute; De vos seigneurs admirez la tendresse Bons habitants de Krasnogorie! while another gentleman had written below: 'Et moi aussi j'aime la nature!
