Par le traspas du tres-vieillard Pontife,

Sera esleu Romain de bon aage,

Qui sera dit que le siege debiffe,

Et long tiendra & de picquant courage.

By the death of the very old high-Priest,

Shall be a Roman elected of good age,

Of whom it shall be said, that he dishonoureth the Seat,

And shall live long, and be of a fierce courage.

The sense and the words are plain.
