J'espère bien vous trouver toute prête
⁠À recevoir mes Lapsus Calami;
Si ce n'est pas l'ouvrage d'un poète
⁠Prenez au moins l'hommage d'un ami.

TranslationEdit

I hope to find you quite ready
⁠To receive my Lapsus Calami;
If this is not the work of a poet
⁠At least take it as the homage of a friend.
