'Ah! If He existed ... Alas! I should fall at His feet. I have deserved death, I should say to him; but, great God, good God, indulgent God, restore to me her whom I love!'
Ah ! s’il existait… Hélas ! je tomberais à ses pieds. J’ai mérité la mort, lui dirais-je ; mais, grand Dieu, Dieu bon, Dieu indulgent, rends-moi celle que j’aime !
