The Advent Of Panurge |
There coming over Charaton Bridge |
Look do you see the man who is poor but rich. |
What do you wish; |
and where do you go; |
Who are you; |
where are you from: |
will you tell me your name? |
Rest awhile; |
call me your friend. |
Please stay with me I’d like to help. |
Then he said, |
How can I speak when I’m dry and my throat is burning. |
So bring me aid |
and I’ll answer your doubts. |
Friend in need I’d like your help |
Please take me home I’ll stay with you. |
Then said he fair Pantagruel |
My name is Panurge and I have come from Hell. |
Look at my friend |
Look all around you |
Look at my friend |
Take all round you. |
Hey, Friend |
(Improvised foreign words in middle section) |
So brotherhood was made as their bond |
Carried him home and provide for his needs |
and his shelter; |
this day was done |
as no other the like. |
Faithfully their vow was made and from |
that day they were as one. |
Then said he fair Pantagruel |
My name is Panurge and I have come from Hell. |
