French.

Mont Aventine brusler nuit sera veu,

Le Ciel obscur tout a un coup en Flandres,

Quand le Monarque chassera son Neveu,

Lors gens d’Eglise commettront les esclandres.

English.

Mount Aventine shall be seen to burn in the night,

The Heaven shall be darkned upon a sudden in Flanders,

When the Monarch shall expel his Neveu,

Then Churchmen shall commit scandals.

ANNOT.

Mount-Aventine is one of the seven Mountains in Rome. The rest is plain.
