A sheep inspires more fear than we.
The day on which ‘cochon’ was revealed to us,
A dog had more honour than we.
The farmer has bought a mule.
The day on which ‘frère’ was revealed to us,
We received a kick on the knee.
We wade in shame up to the breast.
The day on which ‘diable’ was revealed to us,
We received a blow which made us mad.
We have become porters of dung.
