French.

Le sang Roial sera si tresmeslé,

Contraints seront Gaulois de l’Hesperie,

On attendra que terme soit coulé,

Et que memoire de la voix soit perie.

English.

The Royal blood shall be so much mixed,

The French shall be constrained by the Spaniards,

They shall stay till the term be past,

And the remembrance of the voice be over.

ANNOT.

This only signifieth a strict Union between the French and the Spaniards, by several Alliances.
