We live in a place where grace inhabits,

Where one dwells in peace and tranquillity.

And innocence, their eternal companion,

Is happy in this her safest refuge.

To Madame de Rochechouart.

An entire people is formed by your hands.

You sow in its heart the fruitful seed

Of virtues which will sanctify the world.

God, who from the heavens protects you here
