Original Text:
DENYS LE TYRAN.
S'il choisit cet état dans sa triste fortune,
C'est qu'en fait d'écoles toujours
Les tyrans en font trop pour que dans leurs vieux jours,
Ils n'en retrouvent au moins une.

(Feu Barthelemy.)


Translation:
DIONYSUS THE TYRANT.

And once he retired, the master of pupils
what was he to do with his time now so free
he gave paid lessons, looking for stupids
who paid dearly for his pain and agony.

(after Barthelemy)
