ABDUCTION OF HELEN. / PARIS, WHO HAD WORN HIMSELF OUT, / WAS JUST GOOD FOR NOTHING BUT KRAUT. / HELEN KNEW IT AND IN HER STRONG ARMS / SHE CARRIED HIM CLOSE TO HER CHARMS. / (ENEIS, DISGUISED BY MR. PATIN)

L'Enlevement D'Hélène. / Pâris qui par amour sur les dents s'était mis, / N'était plus guère bon qu'à fumer un cigarre. / Hélène le savait aussi sans crier gare, / Sur ses robustes bras elle enleva Pâris. / (Enëide, travestie par Mr. Patin.)
