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.

Translation

[edit]

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.
