To Catherine Deshayes (La Voisine)



Slow and painful death

Subtle and dangerous attack

- Brook of scorn

- Stream of anger

- River of hate



Poison infiltrate society



Rich and poor

Noblemen and beggars

Everyone has the key



Personal vengeance or

Crime of passion

Cyanide remain eternal



Mixture prepared in sombre conspirations

Everywhere it slips poison sows confusion



Neither the wheel, nor stake

Can stop his ravages

Neither the wheel, nor stake

Will calm people's hate



Vicious and intelligent death

Certain and long degradation



Poison infiltrate society



Execrable beverage or refined wine

No matter the administered dose

Nobody can be immunized
