22. Le Pêcheur et le petit poisson  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Petit poisson deviendra grand,
Pourvu que Dieu lui prête vie ;
Mais le lâcher en attendant,
Je tiens pour moi que c’est folie,
Car de le rattraper il n’est pas trop certain.

Un carpeau qui n’était encore que fretin,
Fut pris par un pêcheur au bord d’une rivière.
Tout fait nombre, dit l’homme, en voyant son butin ;
Voilà commencement de chère et de festin :
Mettons-le en notre gibecière.
Le pauvre carpillon lui dit en sa manière :
Que ferez-vous de moi ? je ne saurais fournir
Au plus qu’une demi-bouchée.
Laissez-moi carpe devenir :
Je serai par vous repêchée ;
Quelque gros partisan m’achètera bien cher :
Au lieu qu’il vous en faut chercher

Peut-être encor cent de ma taille
Pour faire un plat : quel plat ! croyez-moi, rien qui vaille.
Rien qui vaille ! eh bien ! soit, repartit le pêcheur ;
Poisson, mon bel ami, qui faites le prêcheur,
Vous irez dans la poêle ; et, vous avez beau dire,
Dès ce soir on vous fera frire.

Un Tiens, vaut, ce dit-on, mieux que deux Tu l’auras :
L’un est sûr, l’autre ne l’est pas.
