LXXVI. LE PAYSAN DU DANUBE

Line 7. Marc-Aurèle, 'Marcus Aurelius' has never said anything about him.

9 — 10. voici le personnage en raccourci, 'hère is a brief description of the individual'. E71 raccourci is borrowed from the painter's language in which it signifies 'foreshortening'.

13. ours mal léché, literally, 'ill licked bear's cub' that is anything coarse, or unpolished. See note 22 fable XIII page 87.
