Note 154 — PART I. (continued 2)
Reading edition
The original lines and the translation, published by Bellechaume the same year in his Recueil, prove, as do the extracts already quoted from Coffin, that a sparkling wine was meant. The former run thus—
‘Hinc inversa scyphis tumet, fremitque; Spumasque agglomerat furore mixtas Æstuans, levis, inquies proterva;’
Bellechaume’s translation is as above—
‘Enflés du même orgueil tous ses vins bondissants N’élèvent que des flots écumeux frémissants Leur liqueur furieuse, inconstante et légère Etincelle, petille, et bout dans la fougère.’
