Une musique de hauts et bas instruments se fit entendre de l’intérieur de l’échafaudage; la tapisserie se souleva; quatre personnages bariolés et fardés en sortirent, grimpèrent la roide échelle du théâtre, et, parvenus sur la plate-forme supérieure, se rangèrent en ligne devant le public, qu’ils saluèrent profondément; alors la symphonie se tut.
The music of high and low instruments immediately became audible from the interior of the stage; the tapestry was raised; four personages, in motley attire and painted faces, emerged from it, climbed the steep ladder of the theatre, and, arrived upon the upper platform, arranged themselves in a line before the public, whom they saluted with profound reverences; then the symphony ceased.
