- Citizen Grocer, a warrior pure and without stain,
Once a caporal, he wore a moustache;
He dreamed in the beginning of gilded epaulettes.
And ever since that time has been the terror of urchins.
There was an old corporal, retired He opened his shop long desired His beard was so hairy That the children got weary and his sales were not as aspired. (Daumier Register) - Alternative title
- Epicier citoyen, guerrier pur et sans tache, Une fois caporal, il porta une moustache; Rêva dans l’avenir la graine d’épinards. Et fut depuis ce temps, la terreur des moutards.
