FAMOUS SONGS
will Alix is married, and all the time the others are making merry her thoughts are far away with her lost lover. In the fifth verse, Alix is made to appear very faithful to her husband and his household, and because of his great love for her tries to love him in return. But in the next verse Alix, grown sad, her husband tries to please her with rich jewels and love-knots. In verse seven:
" Baise-moi, montonne ch6rie,
Je vais au plaid ; Tiens, prende de cette orferverie
Ce qui te plait. L'argent n'est que pour qu'on se dorme
Quelque bon temps; N' epargne rien; voila, mignonne,
Vingt dcus blancs."
The husband takes an affectionate leave of her, as he has to go to the " plea" (the law court, he being a judge,) and gives her more jewellery and money that she may want for nothing. The twelve stanzas that follow describe the return of Alexis, who had been faithful to her, their inter-view and recognition. Then follow these two verses :
" Alix, mon Alix, mon tant aimSe, Helas ! c' est moi! Alix, Alix tant regrettde Ranime-toi!
