His poetry evidently came direct from his heart: it was as rare as it was delicious.
The success of the recitation was complete, and when Jasmin resumed his seat he received the most enthusiastic applause.

As the whole of the receipts were, as usual, handed over by Jasminto the local charities, the assembly decided by acclamation that a subscription should be raised to present to the poet, who had been adopted by the city, some testimony of their admiration for his talent, and for his having first recited to them and dedicated to Toulouse his fine poem of Franconnette.
Jasmin handed over to the municipality the manuscript of his poem in a volume beautifully bound.

The Mayor, in eloquent language, accepted the work, and acknowledged the fervent thanks of the citizens of Toulouse.
As at Bordeaux, Jasmin was feted and entertained by the most distinguished people of the city.

At one of the numerous banquets at which he was present, he replied to the speech of the chairman by an impromptu in honour of those who had so splendidly entertained him.

But, as he had already said: "Impromptus may be good money of the heart, but they are often the worst money of the head."{3} On the day following the entertainment, Jasmin was invited to a "grand banquet" given by the coiffeurs of Toulouse, where they presented him with "a crown of immortelles and jasmines," and to them also he recited another of his impromptus.{4} Franconnette was shortly after published, and the poem was received with almost as much applause by the public as it had been by the citizens of Toulouse.
