En souvenir des grandes Indes,
Harmonieux décor,
La Rafette nourrit d' accord
Un paon et quatre dindes.
Et l' on croirait - tous ces échos
Gloussants, l' autre qui grince -
D' un préfet d' or, dans sa province,
Borné de radicaux.
This poem follows on the theme of the previous one. A free translation:
At La Rafette
Can be found this odd quintet:
(A souvenir of India, if quirky)
One peacock and four turkeys.
Accents gobbling and grating,
Such is the baiting,
It’s as if a posh snob
Were being heckled by the mob.
