Would I might see again Henri de Vardes!

De Buc

It would affright you, sir! The man is dead.

Count Louis

Ah, while he lived it was as did become

A nobleman of France and Brittany!

He was my friend; together we were young!

From dawn to dusk, from dusk to dawn again,

We searched for pleasure as for buried gold,

And found it, too, in days when we were young!
