Arlequin
Language: French (Français)
[Plus beau que le]1 spectre solaire, Voici le très mince Arlequin, Qui chiffonne le casaquin De la servante atrabilaire. Afin d’apaiser sa colère, Il fait miroiter un sequin Plus beau que le spectre solaire, Voici le mince Arlequin. La vieille, empochant son salaire, Livre Colombine au faquin, Qui sur un grand ciel bleu turquin Se dessine et chante lanlaire, Plus beau que le spectre solaire.
