244 FRANCIS BACON'S CRYPTIC RHYMES<br />

Doux printemps<br />

Oui nous rends<br />

Le feuillage,<br />

Heureux temps,<br />

Saison du bel age,<br />

Avec toi renaissent au village<br />

Les beaux jours,<br />

La joie et les amours.<br />

We shall conclude this selection of " poesies," with part<br />

of a poem from that giant of language, Victor Hugo.<br />

Great variety is shown in his verses in the above named<br />

poems " Les Orientates." But also in other works there are<br />

delicious specimens of rapid rhyme and varying verse. The<br />

following is the commencement of a " Chanson " from " Les<br />

"<br />

Chants du Crepuscule<br />

:<br />

L'aube nait et ta porte est close !<br />

Ma belle, pourquoi sommeiller ?<br />

A 1'heure ou s'eveille la rose<br />

Ne vas-tu pas te reveiller?<br />

O ma charmante,<br />

Ecoute ici<br />

L'amant qui chante<br />

Et pleure aussi !
