Augustus. Aoust. Damoiselle Toujourspréte Plaitil. Forlefaise Lourdcorps ... Lettering continues: "Quels charmes! quels attraits! qui pourroit resister!/ La raison nous conduit, la beauté nous excite,/ L'heureuse occasion vient de se presenter,/ Tout conspire aux plaisirs, et la nature invite,/ Imitons ces garcons qui jouissent du bain./ Mais cherchons la riviere, Iris, dans ton beau sein. Cum priv. sac. caes. maj. 1715"
