Hé quoi ? vous ne ferez nulle distinction Entre l'hypocrisie et la dévotion? Vous les voulez traiter d'un semblable langage, Et rendre même honneur au masque qu'au visage, Égaler l'artifice à la sincérité, Confondre l'apparence avec la vérité, Estimer le fantôme autant que la personne, Et la fausse monnaie à l'égal de la bonne ? Les hommes la plupart sont étrangement faits ! Dans la juste nature on ne les voit jamais ; La raison a pour eux des bornes trop petites ; En chaque caractère ils passent ses limites ; Et la plus noble chose, ils la gâtent souvent Pour la vouloir outrer et pousser trop avant. ↗

The monkish vows keep us far from that sink of vice that is the female body, but often they bring us close to other errors. Can I finally hide from myself the fact that even today my old age is still stirred by the noonday demon when my eyes, in choir, happen to linger on the beardless face of a novice, pure and fresh as a maiden's? ↗
