Original Text:
MARIUS À CARTHAGE.
Soldat, dis au sénat qu'en ma noble débine,
J'ai pris pour chaise une ruine;
Et que si j'étais à Sylla,
Je ne serais pas assis là.

(Calembourg attribué à Mr. Cousin).


Translation:
MARIUS AT CARTHAGe.
Soldier, say to the senate that in my noble poverty
I have taken for a chair a ruin
And if I were in Sylla
I would not be sitting here.

(Pun attributed to M. Cousin)
