TEXT III
| Franval who lived in Paris, where he was born, | |
| possessed, along with an income of 400,000 livres, the | |
| finest figure, the most pleasant face and the most varied | |
| talents; but beneath this attractive exterior lay hidden | |
| 5 | every vice, and unfortunately those of which the adoption |
| and habitual indulgence lead so rapidly to crime. An | |
| imagination more unbridled than anything one can depict | |
| was Franval’s prime defect; men of this kind do not mend | |
| their ways, the decline of power makes them worse; the | |
| 10 | less they do, the more they undertake; the less they |
| achieve, the more they invent; each age brings new ideas, | |
| and satiety, far from cooling their ardour, only prepares | |
| the way for more fatal refinements. |
