Bien peu apres sera tres-grand misere,
De pou de Bled qui sera sur la Terre,
De _Dauphiné_, _Provence_ & _Vivarois_,
Au _Vivarois_ est un pauvre presage,
Pere du fils sera _Antrophophage_,
Et mangeront Racine & gland du Bois.

A little after shall be a great misery,
Of the scarcity of Corn that shall be upon the ground
Of _Dauphine_, _Provence_, and _Vivarois_,
In _Vivarois_ is a poor presage,
Father of son shall be Antropophage,
And shall eat Roots and Acorns of the Wood.
