Passer les Monts Apennins, voir la Gaule,

Transpassera le Ciel, les Eaux & Neige,

Et un chacun frappera de sa Gaule.

Shall pass over the Apennine Mountains, and see France,

Shall go over the Air, the Waters and Snow,

And shall strike every one with his Rod.

It is an Eastern Prince, who leaving his Countrey, shall come over the Apennine Mountains, which divide Italy, and come as far as France, destroying all before him.
