The smitten cheek, the taunt, the burning heart!
By all the Rights of all the Lords of Wrong!
By Corvée and Gabelle and Gibier,
Quintaines, Milods, Ban d’Août and Bordelage,
Fouage, Leide, Corvée à miséricorde,
Banvin, Chansons, Baiser des Mariées!
I do denounce these two Aristocrats:
La Force’s prisoner, and the emigrée,
La belle Marquise, the Hussar of the King,
Citoyen Vardes, Citoyenne Blanchefôret!
