Here and there choruses of little girls threw to the winds, amid the passersby, who formed into circles and applauded, the then celebrated Bourbon air, which was destined to strike the Hundred Days with lightning, and which had for its refrain:–
这里和那里，一些小女孩的合唱团，在路人中间，形成圆圈鼓掌，一起唱着当时著名的波旁王朝的乐曲，它注定要在百日政权中掀起风云，它的副歌是：–

这位小个子将起来，他的凝视将是可怕的，他的呼吸将成为一场暴风，从那修长的胸膛里将会涌出足以搅乱阿尔卑斯山脉的风。多亏了巴黎郊区人的力量，带有武器的革命征服了欧洲。 —

He sings; it is his delight. Proportion his song to his nature, and you will see! —
