Sangsue en peu de temps mourra,

Sa mort bon signe nous donra,

Pour l’accroissement de la France,

Alliances se trouveront,

Deux grands Roiaumes se joindront,

Francois aura sur eux puissance.

The Leech within a little while shall die,

His death shall be a good sign to us,

For the augmentation of France,

Alliances shall be found,

Two great Kingdoms shall joyn together,

The French shall have power over them.

The Leech was Philip the IV. the last King of Spain, who died a little while after he had Married his Daughter to Lewis the XIV. now King of France, by which Marriage the Peace was made between the two Kingdoms, in the Island of the Conference, upon the Borders of France and Spain. By his death and that Match is foretold the encrease and happy condition of the Kingdom of France.
