Pierrot's air :
Would you like to know the secret
Of aerostatic success.
Before selling a ticket
Like one does here?
It is all about physics
To soundly reason and judge,
Here good Sirs, and justly so,
How to take off with ease.

Charles, Robert, the Montgolfiers
Don't need such section .
But they are also magicians
Everything dependant on them,
Which our precursors would have burnt
To soundly reason and judge.
Here good Sirs, and justly so,
How to take off with ease.
