All these you eat at Terrè’s tavern

In that one dish of Bouillabaisse.

Indeed a rich and savoury stew ’tis;

And true philosophers, methinks,

Who love all sorts of natural beauties

Should love good victuals and good drinks.

And Cordelier or Benedictine

Might gladly, sure, his lot embrace,

Nor find a fast-day too afflicting

Which served him up a Bouillabaisse.
