Not ever had the painter's jealous veil
Shrouded the fair Pandora's charms:
Innocence was naked and without alarm.
She wrapped herself in modesty alone.

Du choc des sentiments et des opinions
La vérité jaillit et s'échappe en rayons.

From the clash of feelings and opinions
Truth bursts forth and escapes in rays of light.

Le Peintre n'avoit point, sous un voile jaloux,
De la belle Pandore enseveli les charmes:
L'innocence étoit nue et l'étoit sans alarmes.
Elle s'enveloppoit de sa seule pudeur.
