Pierrot qui n'a rien d'un Clitandre Vide un flacon sans plus attendre, Et, pratique, entame un pâté. Cassandre, au fond de l'avenue, Verse une larme méconnue Sur son neveu déshérité. Ce faquin d'Arlequin combine L'enlèvement de Colombine Et pirouette quatre fois. Colombine rêve, surprise De sentir un cœur dans la brise Et d'entendre en son cœur des voix.
Confirmed with Paul Verlaine, Fêtes galantes, Paris: Alphonse Lemerre, 1869, pages 3-4.

Pierrot，一點也不像Clitandre， 毫不遲疑的喝光瓶子裡的酒， 然後，很實在地挖起派餅來吃。 Cassandre，站在路的盡頭， 為她失去繼承權的外甥 流下不為人知的淚水。 Arlequin 這個無賴 計謀綁架Colombine 然後跳舞原地旋轉四圈。 Colombine 在作夢，驚訝地 感受到微風中跳動的心， 同時也聽到她內心的聲音。
