The good Bellaires	A
Do not understand the conduct of this world's affairs	A
In fact they understood them so badly	B
That they have had to cross the Channel	C
Nine lawyers four counsels five judges and three	B
proctors of the King	D
Together with the respective wives husbands sisters	A
and heterogeneous connections of the good Bellaires	A
Met to discuss their affairs	A
But the good Bellaires have so little understood their	E
affairs	A
That now there is no one at all	F
Who can understand any affair of theirs Yet	G
Fourteen hunters still eat in the stables of	H
The good Squire Bellaire	E
But these may not suffer attainder	E
For they may not belong to the good Squire Bellaire	E
But to his wife	I
On the contrary if they do not belong to his wife	I
He will plead	J
A 'freedom from attainder'	E
For twelve horses and also for twelve boarhounds	A
From Charles the Fourth	K
And a further freedom for the remainder	E
Of horses from Henry the Fourth	K
But the judges	A
Being free of mediaeval scholarship	L
Will pay no attention to this	A
And there will be only the more confusion	M
Replevin estoppel espavin and what not	N
	-
Nine lawyers four counsels etc	O
Met to discuss their affairs	A
But the sole result was bills	A
From lawyers to whom no one was indebted	P
And even the lawyers	A
Were uncertain who was supposed to be indebted to	Q
them	R
	-
Wherefore the good Squire Bellaire	E
Resides now at Agde and Biaucaire	E
To Carcassonne Pui and Alais	A
He fareth from day to day	S
Or takes the sea air	E
Between Marseilles	A
And Beziers	A
And for all this I have considerable regret	G
For the good Bellaires	A
Are very charming people	C
