Lines written in "Letters of an Italian Nun and an English Gentleman, by J.J. Rousseau 1 : Founded on Facts"
"Away, away,—your flattering arts
May now betray some simpler hearts;
And you will smile at their believing,
And they shall weep at your deceiving."
Footnote 1:
Ý A second edition of this work, of which the title is,
Letters, etc., translated from the French of Jean Jacques Rousseau
, was published in London, in 1784. It is, probably, a literary forgery.
