“Nature gave the same form to all And warms each one with the same heat Using reason, we follow her inclination To give equal opportunity to our fellow humans Who are our brothers. None should seek felicity To the detriment of his neighbor. Depriving oneself of a pleasure to offer it to others Is the sign of a noble heart And the expression of wisdom. Thus nature and reason go hand in hand And ask us to help one another For the good of all and by common agreement We share In the feast of life.”
