Thibaut m'veut pour sa ménagère,
Ça me chagrine, voyez, vous;
Il est brutal, il est volère,
Il est taquin, il est jaloux;
Oui, je le sens aufond de l'âme,
Je ne ferais pas son bonheur,
Et si jamais j'étais su femme...
Sous vot'bon plaisir; monseigneur"
...je sons que je ne suis pas ici dans mon assiette ordinaire" (Acte III, Scène X)
