I need help translating the text surrounding a 1844 lithograph by
Daumier.  Any help would be most appreciated.  The text is as follows:
 
(above image)  Les Carottes
 
(below image)  Carotte Dramatique - Couplet au public
                Air de la Sentinelle
 
(verse accompanying image)
A vous, messieurs je madresse ee soir,
Vous avez tant d'esprit, tant de finesse;
A vous, messieurs, norte orgueil, notre espoir,
Je viens (unknown word, three letters, like "iei") confesser ma faiblesse;
Ah, dounez-moi, juge trop indulgent,
Un boucher contre bien des attaques,
Donnez-moi, public obligeant,
Vos soins, vos conseils...votre argent;
Et surtout donnez-moi des claques.
 
Thank you again for your help.  Any information is greatly needed.
 
Sincerely, Jeff Stevens
