    In Paris a queer little man you may see,
    A little man all in gray;
    Rosy and round as an apple is he,
    Content with the present whate'er it may be,
    While from care and from cash he is equally free,
    And merry both night and day!
    "Ma foi! I laugh at the world," says he,
    "I laugh at the world, and the world laughs at me!"
    What a gay little man in gray.

Physic and food in sour and sweet,
To take what passes in good part,
And keep the hiccups from the heart.

But the immensest empire is too narrow for two kings.
