French.

Avant long temps le tout sera rangé, Nous esperons un siecle bien senestre, L’Estat des masques & des seuls bien changé, Peu trouveront qui a son rang vueille estre.

English.

Before it be long, all shall be set in order, We look for a sinister Age, The state of the Visards and of _the alone_ shall be changed, They shall find few that will keep their ranks.

ANNOT.
