Le midi
Language: French (Français)
Je vais voir, quand il est Midi, Les estampes du quai Voltaire, Fragonard qui ne peut se taire, Et Boucher toujours étourdi. Debucourt est fort applaudi, Boilly plaît au célibataire; Je vais voir, quand il est Midi, Les estampes du quai Voltaire. Mais Wateau, nautonier hardi, C'est toi surtout, coeur solitaire, C'est toi qu'en la triste Cythère Où ton soleil a resplendi, Je vais voir, quand il est Midi.
