French.

Par Foudre en Arche Or & Argent fondu,

De deux Captifs l’un l’autre mangera,

De la Cité le plus grand estendu,

Quand submergée la Classe nagera.

English.

By Lightning shall gold and silver be melted in the Arch,

Of two Prisoners one shall eat up the other,

The greatest of the City shall be laid down,

When the Navy that was drowned shall swim.

ANNOT.

The words and the sense are plain.
