I had given a cry of grief at the sight of him; but when I came to look upon his face, and to see how much happier he looked in death than I could ever have hoped to see him in life, it was hard to mourn for him.
J'avais jeté un cri de douleur en le voyant, mais quand j'en vins à considérer son visage, et que je lui trouvai l'air bien plus heureux, dans la mort, que je n'avais jamais espéré de le voir pendant sa vie, je cessai de me désoler sur lui.
