Additional quotes by François-Joachim de Pierre de Bernis

Translation: Unhappy he who fears the deep
Recesses of his soul to scan!
The heart that from itself would hide
Fears an unfriendly critic's ban.

Translation: To-day we only smile, we laugh no more,
And e'en our very pleasures seem to bore.

Translation: What gloomy student of old Greece,
As on her charms his gaze reposes,
Would choose the lilies of Lucrece,
Or virtue's garland colourless,
In place of passion's roses?
