L. 44. _et voilà que je meurs_, and behold I die: a Biblical term.

L. 49. _mes feux._ An instance of the conventional language of love, now

exploded, like F. _flamme_ and E. _flame_.

L. 52. _L'ennui._ _Ennui_ here says something more than its adoption

into English would suggest. The English student, in order to realize

its force, should refer to its earlier adoption represented by the form

_annoy_. The word originated, according to Diez, in the Latin phrase

_est mihi in odio_. For the weakened sense of _ennui,_ see p. 57, l. 41.
