    Translation

    The gentleman sends blindly, Mr Ambassador.

    Vocabulary

    • ślepo — blindly
    • słać — to send (3rd sg. present: śle)
    • poseł — ambassador, envoy, MP (vocative: pośle)

    Grammar note

    'Pan ślepo śle' — 'pan' (the gentleman) is the subject; 'śle' is 3rd person singular present of 'słać'. 'Panie pośle' is the vocative — direct address to the ambassador. The pun: 'pośle' also resembles the future of 'posłać' (will send).
