Romain pouvoir sera du tout a bas,

Son grand Voisin imiter les vestiges,

Occultes haines civiles, & debats,

Retarderont aux boufons leur folies.

The Roman power shall be quite put down,

His great Neighbour shall follow his steps,

Secret and civil hatreds and quarrels,

Shall stop the Buffons folly.

The first Verse signifieth, that the Pope’s Authority shall be put down.

The second, that his great neighbour, that is the Empire shall follow his steps, that is, be put down too. The two last Verses are plain.
