Salut ! terre de l'hospitalité..., 1840. ...salut ! patrie de ceux qui n'en ont plus... azile sacré des malheureux que la justice humaine proscrit... salut !! A tous les coeurs fanés que la Belgique est chère. (The ne'er-do-well Robert Macaire leaves France: Hail, land of hospitality! Hail to a country that offers a homeland to all those who have lost theirs.... holy refuge to all those unfortunates exiled by human justice... Hail! To all fallen souls, to whom Belgium is dear.)
