The Sonorous Island

SCENE VIII.

Hush there, hush there, be silent;
Hush there, be silent before us,
Dull singers of vaudevilles popular satirical songs,
Imbecilic partisans
Of the lanla, of the flons flons,
Of the gai gai, of the flous floux,
Of the 'so much you have it sweet',
Sweet, Guillemette, sweet.
Imbecilic partisans
Of the tirileronfa, of the 'fans' above and below.
Of Father Barnabas and Madame Anroux.
Dull singers of old vaudevilles popular songs,
Hush there, be silent before us.
Henriette, Zerbin, exit, withdraw.

Let us exit, let us withdraw.

SCENE IX.

Whose satirical genius
Against me composes such good verses
To such beautiful tunes,
And such good symphony,
