French.

Dans la Sardaigne un noble Roy viendra,

Qui ne tiendra que trois ans le Royaume,

Plusieurs couleurs avec soy conjoindra,

Luy mesme apres soin sommeil Matrirscome.

English.

A noble King shall come into Sardinia,

Who shall hold the Kingdom only three years,

He shall joyn many Colours to his own,

Himself afterwards, care, sleep matrirscome.
