Original text and translations

French text Je n'ai point plus d'affection que ce qu'il me plaît d'en avoir. Et si ne porte passion s'il ne me plaît la recevoir. J'ai gagné sur moi tel pouvoir, tel crédit et autorité que je commande à mon vouloir, rien n'y peut la fragilité.

English translation No more affection have I now Than what it pleases me to show. And passion I do not allow Unless I choose for it to grow. Such strength does this on me bestow, Such good repute and dignity Control of my own will I know, And weakness never troubles me. Translation by Thomas Daughton
