IV. AU CHEVALIER DE PANGE.

L. 27. Tibullus, ii. 1. 67.

L. 28. Becq de Fouquières, in his notes, gives an epigram of Julianus (with the reference Anth., Pl. 588), which he observes has inspired this thought.

L. 35. Tout, mais surtout les champs sont restés. Tout and les champs really belong to different propositions and the verb agrees with les champs. Cf. 'Somewhat, and in many cases a great deal, is put upon us.'--Butler, Analogy, Part I.

L. 44. L'astre, the sun, or Phoebus Apollo.

L. 92. De leur voix argentine. 'The silvery voice of glasses' is pretty. André Chénier is depicting a true heathenish paradise.

L. 98. ingrat à. We should rather say now ingrat envers. Many adjectives, Haase observes (§ 125 B), now followed by envers, pour, avec, de, &c., were constructed with à, e.g. 'A moins que d'être ingrate à mon libérateur.'--Corneille, Andr. v. 2, 1573.

L. 97. Qu'à ton tour... May, in return for thy ingratitude, the fair one...

L. 102. Ne t'ait vu de sa vie. May she pretend that she never saw you before.
