| Prince you must now make an end of things the night is frozen | A |
| Come get up for sensing in shadow the smell of a thief | B |
| That old dog Liberty is growling and baring its teeth | C |
| Though Carlier has chained it it still continues to bay | D |
| You can't wait any longer It's time now for the prey | D |
| Look December spreads a fog that's blacker than black | E |
| Just as a robber baron from his manor slips out the back | E |
| Surprise now cold assassin the enemy in your sights | F |
| Up The regiments in the barracks wait tonight | G |
| Knapsacks ready and now crazed with wine and with a furor | H |
| Settling for a bandit to become an Emperor | I |
| Take your lantern and come with careful steps and quick | J |
| Take your knife the time is ripe for just now the Republic | K |
| Confident and not seeing how your dark eyes do glow | L |
| Sleep with your oath prince tucked beneath the pillow | L |
