The orators Provencal

It seemed, as we know, during the reign of Louis XIV, a Persian envoy to France to attract the prince loved his court foreigners of all nations who might admire his greatness, and bring their country some sparks of the rays glory that it covered both ends of the earth's ambassador, moving to Liverpool, was received wonderfully. On this, MM. magistrates desired to Parliament of Aix, when he came home, not to be outdone by a city over which they place their own with little reason, therefore, first of all projects was compliment the Persian, the harangue in Provencal had not been difficult, but the ambassador would not have understood, this problem stopped a long time. The court deliberated: it takes little to deliberate, a trial of peasants, a train to comedy, and mostly a matter of harlots, all these things are great for those lazy judges, since it is their can wear again, as in Francis, iron and flame in the province and water floods the blood of the unfortunate people who inhabit it.

So they deliberated, but how to achieve them translated this speech, it was nice to deliberate, we did not find a way. Could it be that in a society of merchants tuna accidentally wearing a black jacket, which no one knows only French, he met him a colleague who spoke Farsi? The speech was made, however, three famous lawyers had worked six weeks and finally was discovered, either in the herd or in the city, a sailor who had been long in the Levant and Persian speaking almost as though his dialect. He was educated, he accepts the first role, he learned the speech and translates it with ease when the time came, he was an old coat is the first president, he lends further wig prosecutors, and monitoring of any brilliant band, he advanced to the ambassador. It was mutually agreed to its roles, and the orator was particularly well recommended to those who followed him never to lose sight and do absolutely what he would do. Ambassador stops in the middle of the course where it was arranged that we meet him, the sailor bows and unaccustomed to having such a beautiful wig on his head, the bow, he flew to the mop feet His Excellency, MM. magistrates, who had promised to imitate, are at once their wig and bow down with their servility to the Persian skulls peeled and perhaps even a bit mangy, the sailor, not surprisingly, picked up his hair, restyle, and intones the compliment, he expressed himself so well, the thought that the ambassador of his country, this idea made him angry.

- Unhappy, "cried he, putting his hand on his sword, you would not speak my language and if you were a renegade of Mahomet I must punish you for your fault, you must the paid immediately to your head.

The poor sailor had good defense, we do not listen to him and he gesticulated, he swore, and not one of his movements was lost, all were repeated at the moment with the energy company of which he was followed Areopagite. Finally not knowing how to get by, he imagines an unanswerable proof is to unbutton his pants, and put in the eyes of the ambassador as constant proof of his days he had been circumcised. This new act is now emulated, and now suddenly forty or fifty magistrates Provencal Brayet the low and prepuce in hand, proving that the sailor, he is none of them , who is Christian, as St. Christopher. One can easily imagine if the ladies who saw the ceremony from their windows had to laugh at such a pantomime. Finally convinced by the Minister of the reasons so little misleading, seeing that the orator was not guilty and the rest was in a city of pants, dispenses with shrug and say probably internally: I don ' not surprising that these people always have a scaffold, the accompanying austerity always ineptitude must be the sharing of these animals.

They tried to paint a picture of this new way to say his catechism, he had already been drawn from nature by a young painter, but the court banned the artist of the province, condemned the drawing fire, unaware that 'they were burning themselves because their picture was on the drawing.

- We want to be stupid, said these grave magistrates voulussions do we not even there long enough that we prove to all of France, but we do not want a table to learn it for posterity: she'll forget this platitude, it will be remembered more than Merindol and Cabrières, and it is far better for the honor of being murderers body as donkeys.
