Que m'importe que l'Infante de Portugal Ait le visage rond ou bien ovale Et une cicatrice sous le sein droit Quelle ait l'air d'une fille de roi Ou d'une gardeuse d'oies Que m'importe? Peu me chaut que la princesse de Trébizonde Soit rousse, châtaine ou blonde Qu'elle ait l'humeur prompte et le verbe haut Peu me chaut. Point n'ai souci que la marquise de Carabas Soit veuve et reprendre mari Pour faire ici-bas son paradis! Point n'ai souci! Mais il suffit, jeune étourdie? Du seul clin d'un de vos yeux moqueurs Aux reflets irisés Pour que mon pauvre coeur Batte à se briser.
