Original Text:
TÉLÉMAQUE RENDU A LA VERTU.
Son coeur, que trop longtemps Eucharis occupa,
Rompit un jour enfin ce honteux esclavage:
Et ce jeune héros, beau, frais, gros, gras et.... sage.
Dit à Mentor joyeux: Allons chercher papa.

Fénélon, L. XII.

Translation:
TELEMACHUS RESTORED TO VIRTUE.
His heart that too long Eucharis held
broke away one day and never felt
this fresh new love it changed forever
Go look for Daddy, said Mentor, the clever.

(Fénélon Book XII)
