Original Text:
Grand Enterrement du gros Constitutionnel décédé en son hôtel rue Montmartre, N° 121, enface de l'apothocaire et du M.d de Brioches. Cet infortuné vieillard tombé, après la révolution de Juillet, dans l'enfance et le philippisme fut attaqué de tous fléaux qui marquèrent ce temps de calamités publiques, la croix dite d'honneur, la pognée de main, la truffe ministérielle enfin, il mourut frappé de l'affreux désabonnement et s'éteignit dans les bras de ses actionnaires. St. Albin ( le Rousselin de 93) Chevassus (jadis attaché à la personne de M. de Stael), Jay (ancien censeur), Etienne (ancien censeur) que la terre te soit légère,ô naif Constitutionnel!....De profundis.


Translation:
Great funeral of the fat Constitutionnel, who passed away in his house on rue Montmartre 121, located opposite to the baker's shop and the pharmacy. This unfortunate old man, who had become infantile after the July revolution and turned to Philippism, was haunted by the typical phenomena of this period, such as medals of honour, shaking hands as well as ministerial truffle dinners; because of a continued and terrifying decline in subscriptions, he eventually passed away in the arms of his shareholders: St. Albin ( the Rousselin of 93), Chevassus ( who was once linked to M. de Stael), Jay (a former censor) and Etienne (also a former censor). May the grace not weigh heavy on you, oh ingenious Constitutionnel ...De Profundis.
