IV.

French.

Sur la minuit conducteur de l’Armée,

Se sauvera subit esvanovy,

Sept ans apres la fame non blasmée,

A son retour ne dira oncq ouy.

English.

About midnight the leader of the Army,

Shall save himself, vanishing suddenly,

Seven years after his fame shall not be blamed

And at his return he shall never say yea.

ANNOT.

This is plain of a General of an Army, who shall forsake his Army, and save himself, and yet seven years after when he cometh back, his reputation shall be as clear, as if he never had committed such an errour.
