Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDDA EEFFAAF AAFFAGGHFA| One day in the Tuileries | A |
| When a southwest Spanish breeze | A |
| Brought scandalous news of the Queen | B |

| My good friend loses her head | C |
| If matters go on this way | D |
| I shall see her shopping some day | D |
| In the Boulevard des Capucines | A |

| The saying swiftly went | E |
| To the Place of the Orient | E |

| But I think I will hazard a guess | A |
| I shall see you one day playing chess | A |
| With the Cure of Carabanchel | F |

| Both ladies though not over wise | A |
| Were lucky in prophecies | A |
| For the Boulevard shopmen well | F |
| Know the form of stout Isabel | F |
| As she buys her modes de Paris | A |
| And after Sedan in despair | G |
| The Empress prude and fair | G |
| Went to visit Madame sa Mere | H |
| In her villa at Carabanchel | F |
| But the Queen was not there to see | A |
