by René Chalupt (1885 - 1957)

Vendredi XIII
Language: French (Français) 
Dans le jardin de Luxembourg,
Sous les berceaux tôt défleuris, 
Dans le jardin du Luxembourg,
Quatre fontaines sont taries.

Le nonce dénoua son masque
Afin de pouvoir se mirer,
Un soir, dans la première vasque
En revenant du bal paré.

La princesse de Trébizonde,
Se promenant au bord de l'eau,
Laissa s'échapper son anneau
Qui disparut dans la seconde.

Dans la troisième on dit qu'un jour
La fille du roi de Pologne,
Sous les yeux de toute la cour,
Se baigna sans nulle vergogne.

Et, destin funeste prédit
Par une tireuse de cartes,
Je dois le prochain vendredi
Treize me noyer dans la quarte.
