What we like Węgierska
Co kto lubi
Let the drunken delight in glasses
The gambler let him squander his time in cards.
Let the rider of horseback gambol about
The warrior in war kill other warriors
The courtier in palace stand turn on his heels
The usurer take care of his pay
The lawyer appear before the tribunals
And tear their from others even tho' a beggar
Let the monk in his sandals in his friends houses
'Tis best that each should do as he likes
Inscription
Mortal thou shouldst with pleasure in life
Believe not thou shalt be punished for it after death
But if thou do think so, be cautious
For (impurity) goodless deeds is only allowed to the honest man.
This Poet is very licentious, satirical poet who
perished in early life the victim of passion & disease
– a Peron – born 1755 – died 1787 in Marseille
