Title:     Improviso Translation Of Some Lines Of M. Benserade A Son Lit
Author: Samuel Johnson [More Titles by Johnson]

Theatre des ris, et des pleurs,
Lit! ou je nais, et ou je meurs,
Tu nous fais voir comment voisins
Sont nos plaisirs, et nos chagrins.

In bed we laugh, in bed we cry,
And, born in bed, in bed we die;
The near approach a bed may show
Of human bliss to human woe.

[The end]
Samuel Johnson's poem: Improviso Translation Of Some Lines Of M. Benserade A Son Lit
