Note 39 — V THE GRANDEURS OF THE MARQUISE DE POMPADOUR

Elizabeth Gilbert Martin translation

Spirits and hearts and ramparts terrible, All to his efforts yield, all bend beneath his law, And Berg-Op-Zoom and you, you are invincible; You have submitted only to my King. ’Tis to your arms he flies from Victory’s breast, Finds in your heart the guerdon of his toils. His glory nothing can augment, And you augment his happiness.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
