After PARROCEL
" Le midi "
"While the sun sets these climates on fire, and that on all sides, the air seems without clouds,
Under these elm trees, shepherds, you find shade, you take there in the cool, a rustic meal.
But delivered to the looks of these young shepherdesses, How with a sacred fire, do you defend your hearts?
Everywhere Love triumphs, and one could hardly, near so many lures, avoid its ardors".
Eighteenth century
