Original Text:
Orateurs aux longs bras, Ségur cherche une science,
Du télégraphe il veut étudier le secret.
A des signaux nombreux bornant son éloquence
Comme lui puisse-t-il toujours rester muet!

Translation:
Speakers with the long arms, Ségur seeks a science,
From the telegraph he wants to study its confidence
With many signals limiting its eloquence
As this invention may he always have the avantage of silence!
