Original Text:
L'AMI D'UN GRAND HOMME.
O mon illustre ami, mort comme un simple particulier, génie à qui la science doit tant et qui me devait davantage..... mille écus! que j'espérais rattraper sur son fameux traité de la culture des épinards!
Translation:
THE FRIEND OF A GREAT MAN.
Oh, my illustrious friend, who died like any common individual, oh, genius to whom science owes so much and who owes me still more... a thousand écus! Which I hoped to recover with his famous treatise on the growing of spinach!
