Avant qu’aviene le changement d’Empire,

Il adviendra un cas bien merveilleux,

Le Champ mué, le Pilier de Porphyre,

Mis, translaté sur le Rocher Noileux.

Before the change of the Empire cometh,

There shall happen a strange accident,

A field shall be changed, and a Pillar of Prophyry,

Shall be transported upon the Chalky Rock.
