And the Gallic peace; tranquility...

As whisker-twister pauses, tho’ journey lingers on,

Sniveling and sneaking as he darts in shadows long,

 

And the Gallic peace; tranquility.

 

No food, nor sleep, no drink and no refuge, found anywhere in France,

Nowhere to run save forests, upon which he’s forced to take a chance,

 

And the Gallic peace; tranquility.

 

Scampering in shadows, with the hunter’s distance being closed,

Rodent Ambiorix, -little mouse, is paused and panting in repose,

 

And the Gallic peace; tranquility.

 

Frightened little mouse, run, yes run away,

Frightened little mouse you’ve come to rue that day,

For frightened little mouse, -Caesar’s on his way!

 

And the Gallic peace; tranquility. *
