They caught him, shouting: "Au voleur!"
Beside the Obelisk.
The breathless butcher cried: "A mort!"
The crowd said: "Conspuez!"
And some: "A bas!" and half a score
Responded: "Vive l'armée!"
While grim gendarmes with piercing eye,
And stern remarks about: "Canaille!"
The pig abstracted on the sly.
Such is the Gallic way!
