You will find it in the chronicles of the times. Only, as I am quite sure the two sonnets have never yet been put together in an English form, let me, in rivalry with the late Mr. Webster, give you the two. The first is Voiture's : — It rests, to end with love of Uranie, Absence nor time may cure me of this pain ; Nothing to help, nothing to ease, I see, Nothing to win my liberty again. Long time I know her rigor, but I think Still on her beauty — wherefore I must die; Content I fall, blessing ...my doom I sink, Nor aught against her tyrant rigor cry. But sometimes Reason feebly lifts her voice, Bids me throw off this thraldom, and rejoice: Then when I listen, and her aid would prove, After all efforts spent, in mere despair, She says that Uranie alone is fair. And, more than all my senses, bids me love. That is Voiture. Now hear the gallant Abb^ : — Job, with a thousand troubles cursed. Here shows you what his troubles were, And as he goes from worse to worst, Asks for your sympathetic tear.
