Aimable chien, fidèle et bon Médor
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: French (Français) 
Aimable chien, fidèle et bon Médor, 
Tu restes seul à ta jeune maîtresse ! 
On m'abandonne... et toi, tu veux encor
  Me consoler par ta tendresse.

Cruel amant ! sans regret tu me fuis ! 
Tu m'as laissée à ma douleur mortelle.
Ingrat ! ton chien ne m'avait rien promis,
  Pourtant, il me reste fidèle.

Je le reçus pour gage de ta foi,
Le garderai pour sa reconnaissance.
Hélas ! s'il est moins éloquent que toi,
  Il a du moins plus de constance !
