Note 40 — V THE GRANDEURS OF THE MARQUISE DE POMPADOUR
Elizabeth Gilbert Martin translation
So then, you reunite All arts, all gifts to please; Pompadour, you embellish The court, Parnassus, and Cythera. Charm of all eyes, treasure of one alone, May your love be eternal! May all your days be marked by festivals! May new successes mark the days of Louis! May you both live devoid of enemies And both preserve your conquests.
