Original Text:
Voyez Berryer, célèbre horticulteur,
Fesant ici sa ronde matinale.
A l'Elysée, il cultive une fleur
Mais est-ce un Lys, est-ce une impériale?
Quatrain tiré des coups de boutoir poétiques. - volume sous presse.)

Translation:
Behold, Berryer, horticulturist, as this is he renowned,
Seen here partaking in his early morning round.
At the Elysée, growing a flower is his latest task,
But "Is it a lily, is it an imperial?"... you may quite well ask.
(Quatrain from poetic attacks: volume in press)
