Original Text:
L'HÔTEL DES HARICOTS.
Si tu l'avais montée ta gueuse de garde, t'aurais déjeuné avec Riflot; t'aurais joué au billard avec Fouillet qui te doit une revanche; ta petite Lolotte serait venue demander à diner à son Minet.... et ta femme, malheureux! ta propre femme pendant que tu es coffré..... oh! fichtre!......

Translation:
IN JAIL.
If only you had done your guard service, if only you'd had lunch with Riflot and played billiards with Fouillet, who owed you a return match in any case. Little Lolotte would have had her Minet over for dinner... and your wife, oh you unfortunate, your own wife, while you are sitting in jail... oh, better not think about it!
