O'er the ice the rapid skater flies, With sport above and death below, Where mischief lurks in gay disguise Thus lightly touch and quickly go. [Fr., Sur un mince chrystal l'hyver conduit leurs pas, Telle est de nos plaisirs la legere surface, Glissez mortels; n'appuyez pas.] - translated by Samuel Johnson, lines under picture of skaters, print of painting by Lancret [Danger]
