Les flamboyantes Pierreries Qui parent les glaives des rois Et les mors de leurs palefrois, Brillent dans les rouges tueries. La foule, ivre des féeries, Admire, en ses humbles effrois, Les flamboyantes Pierreries Qui parent les glaives des rois. Et dans les louanges nourries, Les princesses aux regards froids Sèment sur leurs corsages droits Et sur leurs jupes d’or fleuries Les flamboyantes Pierreries.
