the Carmel

For a Sainte-Marthe - PS 05

Ref.
Most Noble Sisters of the White Veil
Celebrating you makes our hearts happy.

1
To Sister Marie of the Incarnation
We offer navigation
And this pretty little boat
Mam'zelle Henriette will find him handsome.

2
We offer Sister Saint Vincent
This dapper little pug
barking near his garden
He will be a very good keeper.

3
We offer dear Marthon
This cute little pig
As a mount it will serve him
When he hunts rats.

4
To celebrate Mélanie Lebon
It's up to Baptiste to set the tone
He presents her with a little cat
Who will serve as a dish washer.

5
How to say to offer this pitcher
Ah! we really don't know
My daddy, here comes the Magister
Let's run away, he has his grand air!
