L’amant songe plus souvent à arriver à sa maîtresse que le mari à garder sa femme ; le prisonnier songe plus souvent à se sauver, que le geôlier à fermer sa porte ; donc, quels que soient les obstacles, l’amant et le prisonnier doivent réussir.
"The lover thinks more often of reaching his mistress than the husband of guarding his wife; the prisoner thinks more often of escaping than the gaoler of shutting his door; and so, whatever the obstacles may be, the lover and the prisoner ought to succeed."
