Original Text:
LE SAUVETAGE D'ARION.
Par un gros poisson dilettante
Ce tenor fut sauvé grâce à sa fraîche voix.
Maint chanteur que l'Opéra vante,
Dans une pareille tourmente,
N'attendrirait pas un anchois.

Extrait d'un feuilleton de Mr. Berlioz.

Translation:
RESCUE OF ARION.
This tenor, saved by a huge music-loving fish,
Owes his life to his lovely voice.
Many a famous singer do not rejoice,
And hreatened in a similar way,
Wouldn't move the heart of an anchovy.

(extract from a piece by Berlioz)
