Hello,
granted, this is not a “jolly text” but it’s from Bossuet and it is from his most famous oration. The speaker is there at the peak of his art.
Lastly I can add there’s a weak relationship between this text and the previous one in French: poor Henriette-Anne’s state would have been the combination of a weak health and difficult pregnancies and I recently heard that, in a traditional society (don’t remember which one), they likened deliveries to battles and women who gave births to heroes…
Edit: corrections done.
