Original Text:
ALEXANDRE ET DIOGÈNE.
Le Sage qui goipait dans le simple appareil
D'un voyou fumant sa bouffarde.
Dit au héros qui le regarde:
Esbigne-toi de mon soleil!

Goualante de Mr. Eugène Sue.

Translation:
ALEXANDER AND DIOGENES.
The wise man puffing at his pipe,
his anger slowly getting ripe,
said, while sleeping in the comfort of his ton
be off, you ass, get out of my sun.

(Popular hit by Eugène Sue)
