InscriptionsL'ÉPÉE DE DAMOCLÈS.
Tu ne te plaindras pas de manques en ce jour
De couteaux pour diner , dit le tyran aimable.
Ma foi! fit Damoclès, si c'est un calembourg
Je trouve que la pointe est fort détestable
Titre académique de Mr. Patin.
[THE SWORD OF DAMOCLES.
You aren't sorry to miss on this day
a knife in order to dine,
said the amiable tyrant. I say
said Damocles, if this is a pun
I find that the point is not fine.
(Academic text of Mr. Patin)]
