THE TURKEY[1]
Me, I dress well,
Me, I look grand,[2]
Me, I am fat and handsome!
My feather is black,
My back is shimmering,[3]
My crop[4] is of ruby.
See my head,
My red plumage;
See and admire, all of you!
The echo is prepared,
He repeats to you
My solemn gobbling.[5]
My tail, it is
Well-furnished and beautiful!
Look, it is a sun.
All shine and tremble;
Who of you are like me?
Am I not without equal?
It rustles,
It spreads,
My velvet feathers!
Make way for me,
And let me pass
Triumphantly in the poultry-yard.
