Nay soubs les ombres & journée nocturne,

Séra en Regne & bonté Souveraine,

Fera renaistre son sang de l’antique Urne,

Renouvelant siecle d’Or pour l’airain.

Being born in the shadows and nocturnal time,

He shall be a Soveraign in Kingdom and bounty,

He shall cause his blood to come again from the ancient Urn,

Renewing a golden Age instead of a brazen one.

This foretelleth the greatness and goodness of a Prince that shall be born in the beginning of the night.
