Et Ferdinand blonde sera descorte,

Quitter la fleur suivre le Macedon,

Au grand besoing defaillira sa routte,

Et marchera contre le Myrmidon.

And Ferdinand, having a Troop of faire men,

Shall leave the flower to follow the Macedonian,

At his great need his way shall fail him,

And he shall go against the Myrmidon.
