Celui qui ci maintenant dort
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
Celui qui ci maintenant dort Fit plus de pitié que d'envie, Et souffrit mille fois la mort Avant que de perdre la vie. Passant, ne fais ici de bruit, Prends garde qu'aucun ne l'éveille; Car voici la première nuit Que le pauvre Scarron sommeille.
