Posé. — Settled upon, or resting upon

10. Après s'être joué du chasseur. — After mocking at the pursuer. Se jouer de quelqu'un, to mock, to laugh at, to make a fool of any one, being a reflective verb, is conjugated with être. See Grammar, p. 138.

1. Romance. — Ballad, love-song. This poem is known by various other titles ; such as, Le Montagnard Émigré, Lm Patrie, Stances, etc.

2. Combien j'ai douce souvenance. — How sweetly I remember. Notice that it is not combien de douces souvenances, how many sweet recollections. Combien is hère équivalent to comme or que, and means how much. Wliat a sweet recollection I bave, is perhaps a more literal translation. The termination ance dénotes duration, state ; many words in ance are still met with in poetry, though elsewhere obsolète or but little used, except in the speech of the country people, where they are still common ; as, souvenance for souvenir, oubliance for oubli. Notice that in the last 6tanza of this poem, the modem form souvenir is used.

3. Te souvient-il. — Do you remember; literally, does it recur to thee. The form commonly employed in prose is te souviens-tu, although primitively the verb se souvenir was always used impersonally ; il me souvient corresponds to a Latin form subvenà mihi.
