 Struck by her charms, he ask'd her name
 * Of the first man he saw;

From whom, with shrugs, no answer came
 * But &mdash; "Je vous n'entends pas."

"I'm right &mdash; this must be
 * "The greatest man in France."

Soon after trudg'd a footman nigh,
 * Whose hands were full of game;

saw them with a hungry eye,
 * And ask'd for whom they came.
