Nous avons convenu d'un signal. Si tu ne dois venir, sur la flûte, j'imiterai le chant plaintif du berger dans le soir. Alors, tu sauras que tu dois rester dans l'ombre. Mais si bois et champs sont déserts et que tu puisses me rejoindre: accours en m'entendant jouer à perdre haleine l'air bleu alerte et fou qui fait danser les chèvres.
