French.

Gaulois qu’Empire par Guerre occupera,

Par son Beau-frere mineur sera trahi,

Par Cheval rude voltigeant trainera,

Du fait le frere long temps sera hay.

English.

A Frenchman who shall occupy an Empire by War,

Shall be betrayed by his Brother in Law a Pupil,

He shall be drawn by a rude prancing Horse,

For which fact his brother shall be long hated.

ANNOT.

This foretelleth of a Frenchman, who shall by War obtain an Empire or Kingdom, and shall be betrayed by his Brother in Law a Pupil, whom afterwards he shall treacherously cause to mount a fierce prancing Horse, who shall throw him down and drag him, for which the said King shall be hated long after.
