18. La marchande d'herbes aromatiques  [sung text not yet checked]
Ta paille azur de lavandes, Ne crois pas avec ce cil Osé que tu me la vendes Comme a l'hypocrite s'il En tapisse la muraille De lieux les absolus lieux Pour le ventre qui se raille Renaître aux sentiments bleus. Mieux entre une envahissante Chevelure ici mets-la Que le brin salubre y sente Zéphirine, Paméla Ou conduise vers l'époux Les prémices de tes poux.

Vois-tu, là-haut, ces alpages des anges entre les sombres sapins ? Presque célestes, à la lumière étrange, ils semblent plus que loin. Mais dans la claire vallée et jusques aux crêtes, quel trésor aérien ! Tout ce qui flotte dans l'air et qui s'y reflète entrera dans ton vin.
