Original Text:
LE SECRET CONFIÉ AU DIEU FAUNE
Je feins d'aimer la jeune République
D'une discrète et tendre passion:
Mais je prétends, loin d'être platonique,
Violer un jour sa Constitution!

Translation:
The SECRECY ENTRUSTED to GOD FAUNA
I pretend to like the young Republic
With a discrete and tender passion:
But I claim, far from being platonic,
Violate one day his Constitution!
