L’œil par objet fera telle excroissance,
Tant & ardente que tombera la Neige,
Champ arrousé viendra en decroissance,
Que le _Primat_ succombera a _Rhege_.

The Field watered shall come to decay
Insomuch that the _Primat_ shall fall down at _Rhege_.

Lors qu’on viendra pour _Jeudy_ venerer,
Ce qui sera jamais ne fut si beau,
Des quattre parts le viendront honorer.
