Fera exces de Masculin courage,

Sur le Cheval, Fleuve passera nue,

Suite par Fer, a Foy fera outrage.

When the great Queen shall see her self vanquished,

She shall do a deed of a Masculine courage,

Upon a Horse, she shall pass over the River naked,

Followed by Iron, she shall do wrong to her Faith.

ANNOT.

It is some great Queen, who seeing her self vanquished, shall swim naked on Horseback over a River, being followed by those that would have either killed or taken her, and after that shall forfeit her faith, but whether it be to her Husband, Friends, or Relations, is not expressed.
