139 2 Les Miserables
“Le roi Coupdesabot
S’en allait a la chasse,
A la chasse aux corbeaux,
Monte sur deux echasses.
Quand on passait dessous,
On lui payait deux sous.’King Bootkick went a-hunting after crows, mounted on two
stilts. When one passed beneath them, one paid him two sous.[The end of Volume III. ‘Marius”]
