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,

"I laugh at the world, and the world laughs at me!"
What a gay little man in gray.

And honour sinks where commerce long prevails.

whom God gives with a sparing hand what is sufficient for his
wants.

Desunt multa; bene est cui deus obtulit
Parca quod satis est manu.]

Give what thou canst, without Thee we are poor;
And with Thee rich, take what Thou wilt away.
