From the Daumier Register:

Original Text:
LA PIPE MATINALE.
Le Tabac de caporal fait maintenant partie integrale de ce que les poetes appellent les suaves parfums du matin; et grace aux bouffes que lui envoyent de toutes parts les fumeurs, l’aurore, jadis au teint de rose, doit etre bien prs d’etre culottee.

Translation:
THE MORNING PIPE.
The corporal’s tobacco has become an integral part, as the poet says, of the morning air; and thanks to the puffs the pipe smokers are sending into the sky, the once rose colored dawn will soon take on a smoky color.
