Poznámky
The verses are a mock chanson in the style of a Montmartre street-song, with refrains ending in Montmartre and rue Legendre (where the Bastien-Lepage family lived). "Adolphe" is Marie's contemptuous nickname for Jules Bastien-Lepage. "Aztec" (astèque) was contemporary slang for an ugly or outlandish-looking person. "Archi-tec" rhymes with "astèque" and refers to Gabriel Géry's profession. The attribution "Signed: Manet" is a joke at Manet's posthumous expense — himself recently pilloried in the press. ↩
