Original Text:
UNE RENCONTRE DE JOYEUX AUGURES.
Les Augures, dit-on, ne pouvaient s'aborder
Sans rire de leur fourberie:
Mais nos chevaliers d'industrie
Se traitent gravement et sans se dérider.

(Viennet. Fable nouvelle)

Translation:
MEETING OF MERRY AUGURS.
The augurs, one says, couldn't meet
without smiling of their deceit.
But our knights from everyday life
treat each other much smoother and nice.

(Viennet. New fable)
