VERSES said to be fixed on the Gate of the LOUVRE at PARIS . 1751. DEUX Henris immolés par nos braves ayeux , L'un a la liberté , et Bourbon à nos Dieux , Nous animent , Louis , aux mêmes enterprises . Ils revivent en toi ces anciens tyrans — Crains nôtre desespoir — la noblesse a ses Guises , Paris des Ravillacs , le clergé des Clements . ENGLISH . By the Same . OUR fathers' victims the two Henries see , This to religion , that to liberty . Louis , in thee again the tyrants live ; Dread , lest our deep despair those scenes revive . Paris nor yet a Ravilliac denies , The church a Clement , nor the court a Guise .

LATIN . By the Same . CIVILI Henricûm cecidit par nobile ferro , Hic libertati victima , et ille Deo : Dum priscos renovas iterum , Ludovice , tyrannos , Nos renovare iterum facta priora doces . Nos timeas laesos — Guisos dabit aula recentes , Claustraque Clementes , urbsque Rabilliacos .
