VERSES said to be fixed on the Gate of the LOUVRE at PARIS. 1751

Deux Henris immolés par nos braves ayeux, L'un a la liberté, et Bourbon á nos Dieu, Nous animent, Louis, aux mêmes enterprises. Ils revivent en totoi ces anciens tyrans— Crains nôtre desespoir—la noblesse á ses Guises, Paris des Ravillacs, le clergé des Clements.

OUR father's victims the two Henries see, This to religion, that to liberty. Louis, in thee, again the tyrants live, Dread, lest our deep despair those scenes revive. Paris nor yet a Ravilliac denies, The church a Clement, nor the court a Guise.

CIVILI Henricûm cecidit par nobile ferro, Hic libertati victima, et ille Deo: Dum priscos renovas iterum, Ludovice, tyrannos, Nos renovare iterum facta priora doces. Nos timeas laesos—Guisos dabit aula recentes, Claustraque Clementes, urbsque Rabilliacos.
