French.

Celuy qu’en luitte & fer au fait Bellique,

Aura porte plus grand que luy le prix,

De nuit au lit six luy feront la pique,

Nud sans harnois subit sera surprins.

English.

He who in Wrestling and Martial affairs,

Had carried the prize before his better,

By night Six shall abuse him in his bed,

Being naked, and without harness, he shall suddenly be surprised.
