Paix vbert, long temps lieu lo_era:
Par tout son regne de sert la fleur de lys:
Corps morts d'eau, terre l. l'on aportera,
Sperans vain heur d'estre l. enseuelis.

Peace and plenty for a long time the place will praise:
Throughout his realm the fleur-de-lys deserted:
Bodies dead by water, land one will bring there,
Vainly awaiting the good fortune to be buried there.
