From your humble, lowly servants receive on this best of feast days this pair of quite modest bouquets prepared with devotion immense. They will please you, this I know, for the French people paid for the show. (De tes humbles foutriquets Reçois, le jour de la fête, Ces deux modestes bouquets Que leur dévouement d'apprête. Ils te plairont, car le peuple Français Seul en a fait tous les frais.)
