Original text: ACHILLE SOUS SA TENTE.
De Briséis en pleurs se rappelant les charmes
Le héros se plaisait en sa morne douleur.
Et vraiment Patrocle en fourbissant ses armes,
Tentait de ranimer sa bouillante valeur.

Trad. discrète du Président P....
Ce précieux bas-relief a été découvert dans les ruines de l'antique Boule rouge (faubg. Montmartre) par notre infatiguable voyageur Mr. Charles Texier. Selon Mr. Ingres, Phidias, seul peut en être l'auteur.
Translation: Introduction of Ulysses to Nausicaa.
At the sight of the hero, dirty with black silt,
Everyone flees, but Nausicaa in her naive modesty
Asks him, blushing, without leaving her laundry:
What strange noble God brings you to my washing place?"
(unpublished translation by M. Casimir Delavigne)
