InscriptionsQue le jeune Damis seroit heureux, Climène, Si cette bouillante liqueur, Pouvoit échauffer votre coeur, Et si le sucre avoit la vertue souveraine D'adoucir ce qu'en votre humeur, Cet amant trouve de rigueur. [How happy young Damis would be, Climène, If this boiling liquor Could warm your heart, And if sugar had the supreme power Of sweetening in your mood The sternness that suitor finds.]
