Le Lion jeune le vieux surmontera,

En champ bellique par singulier Duelle,

Dans Cage dor Lœil il lui crevera,

Deux playes une puis mourir mort cruelle.

The young Lion shall overcome the old one,

In Martial field by a single Duel,

In a Golden Cage he shall put out his Eye,

Two wounds from one, then he shall die a cruel death.
