Lucile

No, but my father...

She is mocking.
Go, I would have done exactly as you did,
You will love me enough, if my daughter is dear to you.
Are you happy?

Yes, we are.

Well then,

I say the same. How are you? Very well,
Is it not so?

Yes, very well.

We will fare well.
Each has his role, and this is mine.
At the wedding of my Lucile,
Good humor will preside.
If boredom comes to us from the city,
To the city it will return as quickly as possible.

Around me I hear, I want
Everyone to be happy.
One loses all the gold that one hoards,
It is to spread it that I amass.
Around me I hear, I want
Everyone to be happy.
Of so much wealth
Alas! What to do;
My necessities,
For me, are nothing.
A peaceful roof, where I slumber,
A good dinner, a good coat,
With a good wine that rejuvenates me,
A bottle with my meals;
