Black Engraving after PARROCEL . Period XVIIIth

Black engraving under framed glass: "The Noon", or the ode to seduction...
According to PARROCEL
 "The noon"
"While the sun is setting these climates on fire, and on all sides, the air seems cloudless,
Under these abalone, Shepherds, you find shade, you take it cool, a rustic meal.
But delivered to the eyes of these young shepherds, How do you defend your hearts with a sacred fire?
Love triumphs everywhere, and it would hardly be possible, with so many lovers, to avoid its ardors"
Period XVIIIth century
