French.

Ceux qui estoient en regne pour scavoir,

Au Royal change deviendront a pauvris,

Uns exilez sans appuy, Or navoir,

Lettréz & lettres ne seront a grand pris.

English.

Those that were in esteem for their learning,

Upon the change of a King shall become poor,

Some banished, without help, having no Gold,

Learned and learning shall not be much valued.

ANNOT.

This Prophecie is clear enough, and here the Author hath said nothing, but what doth commonly happen.
