Angel/Baudelaire

I've been watching Angel from the beginning on the UK's version of netflix, and am seeing episodes I missed the first time around. 

In season one - in "Her"  I've just noticed that Angel refers to Baudelaire. I didn't know Baudelaire's "The Vampire" poem, but now I read it, most translations seem to have the last stanza as a woman - but isn't "son empire" translated as "his empire"? not her?  I'm not hot on French as you can imagine - but it makes me smile that Joss slid a sneaky reference to Angel and Baudelaire having a relationship in there. Sorry that I'm 8 years late on this, but they stopped showing Angel on terrestrial tv here about six years ago!
