French.

Lou grand Cyssame se levera d’abelhos, Que non lauran don te siegen venguddos, Denuech lenbousq, lun gach dessous las treilhos, Ciutad trahido per cinq lengos non nudos.

English.

The great swarm of Bees shall rise, And it shall not be known whence they come, Towards the Ambush so the Jay shall be under a Vine, A City shall be betray’d by five tongues not naked.

ANNOT.

The Author having made this Stanza in the _Provencal_ Language, that was his Mother Tongue, which hath very little relation to the rest of the _French_ tongue, hath put me to some trouble to understand it; at last I found the meaning to be this, that when a great swarm of Bees shall light on some place, and it shall not be known whence they came, then shall be seen a Jay under a Vine, and a City shall be betrayed by five several Nations.
