Le mot Phoebus

Esmeralda:

Now could I know
Who I have the honor of marrying

Gringoire:
I am the poet Gringoire
I am the prince of the streets of Paris!

Esmeralda:
He is the prince of the streets of Paris!

Gringoire:
I am not a ladies' man
If you want I will make of you
My muse, my inspiration, my Lady

Esmeralda:
You who can read and write
You the poet can you tell me
What Phoebus means

Gringoire:
By Jupiter
Who on earth
Dare to bear such a name?

Esmeralda:
It's the one for whom my heart beats

Gringoire:
If I remember
My Latin
The word Phoebus means sun

Esmeralda:
Phoebus means sun
