Bien peu apres sera tres-grand misere,

De pou de Bled qui sera sur la Terre,

De Dauphiné, Provence & Vivarois,

Au Vivarois est un pauvre presage,

Pere du fils sera Antrophophage,

Et mangeront Racine & gland du Bois.

A little after shall be a great misery,

Of the scarcity of Corn that shall be upon the ground

Of Dauphine, Provence, and Vivarois,

In Vivarois is a poor presage,

Father of son shall be Antropophage,

And shall eat Roots and Acorns of the Wood.
