Every morning, rising,
set to work, I mean at her toilet;
And there, smiling, smirking,
She said to her dear confidant (1)
Sentences, pleasures, plans for its
[soul.
A bee dizzy comes buzzing. "Help, help! Soon the cries
[lady
Come, Lise, Marton, come [promptly;
Chase this winged monster." For the monster insolently lips Chloe arises.
Chloe fainted, and Marton
Enters into a rage and the bee has
the crash. "Alas said gently
The unfortunate insect, forgive my mistake;
Chloe's mouth seemed to me a rose,
And I believed him ..." that one word makes its way to Chloe.
"Let us through," she said, her sincere confession:
besides its sting is mild ;
since she called you, I hardly feel it. "
What does one pass with a little incense (2).
