De Terre foible & pauvre parentale,

Par boute & paix parviendra a l’Empire,

Long temps regner une jeune femelle,

Qu’oncques en Regne nen survint un si pire.

One weak in Lands and of poor Kindred,

By thrusting, and peace shall attain to the Empire,

Long time shall Reign a young woman,

Such as in a Reign was never a worse.

The words are so plain, that every body may interpret them.
