Strona 169 - On conserve encor le portrait De ce digne et bon prince ; C'est l'enseigne d'un cabaret Fameux dans la province. Les jours de fête, bien souvent, La foule s'écrie en buvant Devant : Oh! oh! oh! oh! ah! ah! ah! ah! &c. THE KING OF
Strona 177 - when I was twenty-one. Let us begone—the place is sad and strange— How far, far off, these happy times appear; All that I have to live I'd gladly change For one such month as I have wasted here— To draw long dreams of beauty, love, and power, From founts of hope that never will outrun, And
