Text size

L’an mil neuf cent nonante neuf, sept mois,
Du Ciel viendra un grand Roy d’effrayeur,
Resusciter le grand Roy d’_Angoumois_,
Avant apres, _Mars_ Regner par bonheur.

English.

In the year a thousand nine hundred ninety nine, and seven months,
From Heaven a great terrible King,
To raise again the great King of _Angoulesme_,
Before and after, _Mars_ shall Reign luckily.

ANNOT.

He that is called here King of _Angoulesme_ was _Francis_ the I. as gallant a Prince as ever _France_ had, who before he was King went by the title of Duke of _Angoulesme_; the rest is easie.
