  • Text: LE COUCHER. Les yeux chargés d'une douce langueur, / Zélis s'en va dans le sein d'un sommeil enchanteur / Reprendre une beauté nouvelle : / Songes flatteurs on vous appelle, / On a livré pour vous aux flammes / De tendres billets...de la discrétion ! / A-t-elle tort ou bien raison ? / Respectons le secret des dames.
