Et déjà de la terre on peut bien distinguer
Ses bateaux descendans qui vont s'y diriger;
Leurs rames font écho sur le bord du rivage,
Leurs quilles rudement se traînent sur la plage.
"Vous voilà, mes amis, soyez les bienvenus.'
Tous se serrent les mains, tous se sont reconnus.
Les ris, les questions, la joie et l'espérance,
Tout est confusion; mais tout est jouissance.
Heureux de se revoir, tous se sont rapprochés ;
Tous parlent à la fois, tous se sont recherchés.
Au milieu de ces cris, les douces voix des femmes
Appellent les objets de leurs sincères flammes,
Leurs pères, leurs enfans, leurs amans, leurs maris ;
A tous ces noms sont joints les noms sacrés d'amis.
"Sont-ils saufs? où sont-ils ? allons-nous les entendre?
"En un jour si joyeux, que devons-nous attendre ?
"D'où part l'engagement? Quel sera leur destin?"
Elles doutent encor, quand leur sort est certain.
Mais enfin, dans leurs bras tendrement embrassée,
Chacune sur sa crainte est bientôt rassurée.'

Upon a strict comparison it will doubtless be found that in several parts of her translation Madame THOMAS has added some ideas which never entered into the head of the noble bard, while she has varied the outlines of some of his images, and in no instance has improved them. It should, however, be borne in mind that the difficulty of compressing English thought in French verse has been acknowleged by every writer who has attempted it, and it is due to Madame THOMAS to add, that her translation, upon the whole, deserves commendation.

The reader will observe that the Index to this volume is, for the greater facility of reference, comprized under one general head.
