:After combat and naval battle,
:The great Neptune in his highest belfry:
:Red adversary will become pale with fear,
:Putting the great Ocean in dread.
;2
:The divine word will give to the sustenance,
:Including heaven, earth, gold hidden in the mystic milk:
:Body, soul, spirit having all power,
:As much under its feet as the Heavenly see.
;3
:Mars and Mercury, and the silver joined together,
:Towards the south extreme drought:
:In the depths of Asia one will say the earth trembles,

:Which will occur between April and March.

:The citizens within their fort injured:
:Horses, cattle, men, the wave will touch the wall,
:Through famine, drought, under the weakest armed.
;7
:The fugitives, fire from the sky on the pikes:
:Conflict near the ravens frolicking,
:From land they cry for aid and heavenly relief,
:When the combatants will be near the walls.

;14
:Through the branch of the valiant personage
:Of lowest France: because of the unhappy father
:Honors, riches, travail in his old age,
:For having believed the advice of a simple man.
;15
