Le courrier
Language: French (Français) after the Spanish (Español)
Des courriers voilà le roi, Toujours leste et toujours fringant. Il devancerait le vent, Des courriers, oui sur ma foi Lorsqu'il traverse la nue A son balcon toute émue Apparait mainte ingénue. Captivés par tant de grâce Les coeurs volent sur sa trace Sans y prendre garde il passe Plus rapide que le vent
