THE KING IS RETURNING TO PARIS.
Le roi revient à Paris,
La reine est très-heureuse,
Le roi il est le mari,
La reine elle est l’épouse.
LE PETIT MARÉCHAL.[B]
1.
I was a little sergeant, don’t you see,
And I drilled my soldiers one and twenty-three,
And we all stepped out together,
In fair and stormy weather,
I was a little captain, happy me!
Of my chosen band of one and twenty-three,
And we roamed the world together,
In fair and stormy weather,
Myself and soldiers one and twenty-three.
3.
And now I am a marshal, as you see,
With a score and four of soldiers under me,
And we roam the world together
In fair and stormy weather,
Just five and twenty soldiers counting me.
