Petit cours de morale (H.148)
Cécile
Le grand Chinois de Lancastre
Vous attire avec des fleurs...
Puis vous inonde d'odeurs...
Bientôt sa pipe est votre astre!
Du lys au pavot, Cécile,
La route, hélas! est docile.
Cécile
The great Chinaman of Lancaster
Attracts you with flowers...
Then smothers you with fragrances...
Soon his pipe's your guiding star!
From lillies to poppies, Cécile,
The path, alas, is an easy one.
