Not illustrated. 1877* Excerpt: ...grandes Verites.) Ar.mand Charlemagne. Rothers, 't is a happy age, This good age in which we live; To his views the fearless sage Now the freest scope may give. Bolder than Philoxenus, Down the veil of truth I tear; While my verse I warble thus, Friends, my revelations hear. Light sometimes from candles comes; Water serves our thirst to slake; Nipping cold our fingers numbs; In good beds sweet rest we take. Grapes are gathered in September; June is mostly very hot; When I am within my chamber, Then elsewhere be sure I 'm not. Nought more cold than ice we know; Without salt we cannot pickle; Human pleasures come and go, Mortals all must feel Time's sickle. Not the Danube is the Oise, Neither is the day the night; While the high-road to Pontoise To Pantin won't lead you right. Many a rascal lives at ease; Shirts are mostly made with sleeves; If in summer you fell trees, Every one can pick up leaves. Those who every falsehood swallow Some discrimination lack; Dancers should the figure follow; Crabs advance by going back. Bread with everything we eat, Even with the choicest dish; Pheasants are a greater treat Than a bit of smoke-dried fish. Vinegar won't catch a fly; And those barbers, big with hope, Who to whiten niggers try, Only throw away their soap. When to shave ourselves we want, We ne'er take a common broom; In your garden rhubarb plant, And you 'll find no turnips come. That old famous horse of Troy Was not given much to drinking; Every ass don't find employ With the miller, to my thinking. Fools but sorry numskulls are; He who's wise more wit commands; From the head the feet are far, On the neck the former stands. Drunkenness we get from drink; For the sauce the fish we prize; Every loaf weighs more, I think, Than another half the size. Romulus built...
