French.

Dedans le puis seront trouvez les os,

Se l’inceste commis par la Marastre,

L’estat changé, en fera bruit des os,

Et aura Mars ascendant pour son astre.

English.

In the Well shall be found the bones,

Incest shall be committed by the Stepmother,

The case being altered, there shall be great stir about the bones,

And she shall have Mars for her ascending Planet.

ANNOT.

It is the strange wickedness of a woman, that shall incestuously be got with Child by her Son in Law, and when she is delivered, shall kill her Child, and throw him into a Well; a while after the water beginning to corrupt, a search shall be made of the cause, and then the Childs Bones shall be found, which shall cause a great stir, and for to know this wicked woman, he saith, that the Planet of Mars shall be the ascendant in her Horoscope.
