TRANSLATION FROM THE FRENCH
of Henault's Paraphrase on the foregoing.
Happy the man whom pure oblivion hides,Knowing himself, tho' hid to all besides!
[illeg.] death no dread, no injury perceives,
[illeg.] guiltless led, this life as guiltless leaves:
[illeg.] oh! how sad to him, tho' all were known,
[illeg.] all things car'd, died careless of his own!
