And then to reply to four unheard ones:
Little ones for great ones, clear evil for them,
Lightning at the tower of Aiguesmortes, worse for “Eussouis.”[1]

55. Sad counsels, disloyal, cunning,
Wicked advice, the Law will be betrayed:
The people stirred, wild, quarrelsome,
In borough as in town, the entire peace hated.

56. King against King and the Duke against Prince,
Hatred between them, horrible dissension:
Rage and fury throughout every province,
In France great war and horrible change.

59. The accord and peace will be broken everywhere:
Friendships polluted by discord:
Hatred awakened, all faith corrupted,
And hope. Marseilles without concord.

62. Wars, debates, at Blois war and tumult,
Diverse watches, unexpected avowals:
To enter into Chateau Trompéte,[2] affront,[3]
Chateau du Hâ,[2] those who will be to blame for it.

65. Through fury he will force the fort to hold,
Every heart to tremble. At Langon a terrible arrival:
The kick will become a thousand kicks,
Gironde, Garonne, never more horrible.

  2. 2.0 2.1 Fortresses of Bordeaux.
