French.

Long temps au Ciel sera veu gris Oiseau,

Aupres de Dole & de Tuscane Terre,

Tenant au Bec un verdoiant rameau,

Mourra tost Grand, & finira la Guerre.

English.

A great while shall be seen in the Air a gray Bird,

Near Dola and the Tuscan Land,

Holding in his Bill a green bough;

Then shall a great one die, and the War have and end.
