1 Plût à Dieu que tu fusses comme mon frère, allaité des mamelles de ma mère! J'irais te trouver dehors, je te baiserais, et on ne me mépriserait point.

If only you were to me like a brother, who was nursed at my mother’s breasts! Then, if I found you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me.
