Original Text:
MARIUS À MINTURNES.
De ce grand général admirez la malice!
Voyant qu'il allait être atteint;
Au travers des roseaux dans la vase il se glisse
Et rit en surète dabs ce marais BON TEINT.

(Calembourg historique de Mr. de Rothschild.)

Translation:
MARIUS AT MINTURN.
Of this great general, admire the sly trick!
Seeing that he was going to be seized
Through the breeds he disappeared in the slick
And laughs in safety at this feast.

(Historical verse by Mr. de Rothschild)
