XVIII.

French.

De Flore issue de sa mort sera cause,

Un temps devant par jeusne & vieille bueyre,

Car les trois lis luy feront telle pause,

Par son fruit sauve comme chair crüe mueyre.

English.

Issued from Flora shall be the cause of her own death,

One time before, through fasting and old drink,

For the three Lillies shall make her such a pause,

Saved by her fruit, as raw flesh dead.
