To Catherine Deshayes (La Voisine)    Slow and painful death  Subtle and dangerous attack  - Brook of scorn  - Stream of anger  - River of hate    Poison infiltrate society    Rich and poor  Noblemen and beggars  Everyone has the key    Personal vengeance or  Crime of passion  Cyanide remain eternal    Mixture prepared in sombre conspirations  Everywhere it slips poison sows confusion    Neither the wheel, nor stake  Can stop his ravages  Neither the wheel, nor stake  Will calm people's hate    Vicious and intelligent death  Certain and long degradation    Poison infiltrate society    Execrable beverage or refined wine  No matter the administered dose  Nobody can be immunized
