PANTOMIME.

PANTOMIME.PIERROT, no sentimental swain,Washes a pâté down againWith furtive flagons, white and red.Cassandre, to chasten his content,Greets with a tear of sentimentHis nephew disinherited.That blackguard of a HarlequinPirouettes, and plots to winHis Colombine that flits and flies.Colombine dreams, and starts to findA sad heart sighing in the wind,And in her heart a voice that sighs.

PIERROT, no sentimental swain,Washes a pâté down againWith furtive flagons, white and red.

Cassandre, to chasten his content,Greets with a tear of sentimentHis nephew disinherited.

That blackguard of a HarlequinPirouettes, and plots to winHis Colombine that flits and flies.

Colombine dreams, and starts to findA sad heart sighing in the wind,And in her heart a voice that sighs.
