Jasmin: Barber, Poet, Philanthropist

Samuel Smiles · 1891

passage 29 of 151 · CHAPTER I. Agen--Jasmins Boyhood > CHAPTER IV. JASMIN AND MARIETTE. (5/5)

Endnotes to chapter IV.

{1} In Gascon Magnounet; her pet name Marie, or in French Mariette. Madame Jasmin called herself Marie Barrere.

{2} The remaining verses are to be found in the collected edition of his works--the fourth volume of Las Papillotos, new edition, pp. 247-9, entitled A une jeune Voyayeuse.

{3} Papillotes, as we have said, are curl-papers. Jasmin's words, in Gascon, are these:

"Quand Pegazo reguiuno, et que d'un cot de pe Memboyo friza mas marotos, Perdi moun ten, es bray, mais noun pas moun pape, Boti mous beis en papillotos!"
