A few discreet marginal dampstains. ""Let no beauty trust in a lover's vows; let none flatter herself that truth dictates his words. A prose poem in six cantos in which according to the anonymous author 'only Love Beauty and the Graces have been portrayed.' It opens thus: 'Venus still wept over the sad fate of the hunter Adonis.' Involuntarily 'Calypso could not be consoled for the departure of Ulysses.' comes to mind. One might take it for an imitation of 'Télémaque.' It is rather a pastiche of the 'Temple de Gnide' on which most productions of this then so widespread genre were modelled."" Jules Le Petit Édouard Rouveyre ""Bibliographie raisonnée et pratique.
