Alma Barthelemy;

Beau cavalier;
Par derrière chez mon père;
Etant assis auprès d'Isabeau;
C'était une fille de 15 ans (dans la tour);
En me promenant;
Le jour de l'Ascension (garon qui tué sa famille);
Petit pinçon (?) en déployant vos ailes;
Quand la belle attendue dire que son amant fût pris;
Voulez-vous me traverser (voir la bande suivante);
