...du pauvre Scarron, par lui‑même
 (Sung text for setting by P. Rousseau)

Celui qui ci maintenant dort
Fit plus de pitié que d'envie,
Et souffrit mille fois la mort
Avant que de perdre la vie.

Passant, ne fais ici de bruit,
Prends garde qu'aucun ne l'éveille;
Car voici la première nuit
Que le pauvre Scarron sommeille.
