On gravera d’un grand Prince cinquiesme,

English.

By Water, by Fire, and by great sickness,

The Purveyor to the hazard of his life,

Shall know how much is worth the Quintal of Wood,

Six hundred and fifteen, or the nineteen,

There shall be graven of a great Prince the fifth,

The immortal name upon the foot of the Cross.
