Fantasio and Other Plays Book

"... lovers always brag about their dear;
Their passion never sees a thing to blame,
And everything is lovely in their flame:
They find perfection in her every flaw,
And speak of her with euphemistic awe.
...
The tireless talker's charmingly vivacious,
The mute girl modest, womanly, and gracious.
Thus every man who loves beyond compare
Loves even the defects of his lady fair."



If only I could read it in the French,
This player's words would seem not such a wrench.
