Pluye, Faim, Guerre en Perse non cessée,

La foy trop grande trahira le Monarque;

Par la finie en Gaule commencée,

Secret augure pour a un estre parque.

Too great credulity shall betray the Monarque;

Being ended there it shall begin in France,

A secret Omen to one that he shall die.

The third Verse signifieth that this Rain, Famine and War being ended in Persia, it shall begin in France. And the fourth Verse, that this shall be an Omen to a great Person of his approaching death.
