Cher bourgeois Strasbourgeois Où allez-vous donc ainsi ? Boire un peu De vin bleu, D'usquebac ou de cassis ? Chère épouse Trop jalouse Où allez-vous donc ainsi ? La servante Rit d'avance : Votre mari n'est pas ici. Et vous rose écolier Tout de noir habillé Où allez-vous donc ainsi ? Madame hélas ! vient de sortir : Amour ne conduit guère qu'à soupirs Et souci.
