Grand Roy viendra prendre port pres de _Nice_,
Le grand Empire de la mort si en fera
Aux _Antipodes_ posera son genisse,
Par Mer la Pille tout esvanouira.

By Sea all the Pillage shall vanish.

Pieds & Cheval a la seconde veille,
Feront entrée vastiant tout par Mer,
Dedans le Port entrera de _Marseille_,
Pleurs, cris & sang, onc nul temps si amer.

Foot and Horse upon the second Watch,
Shall come in destroying all by Sea,
They shall come into the Harbour of _Marseilles_,
Tears, cryes and blood, never was so bitter a time.

This is so clear that it needeth no interpretation.
