There will a point in time when France will be in great danger, having enemies on both coasts, and all borders. This child, heir to the throne, will only make matters worse. In all, and on all of their constitution it will find its enemies; as a result, France will be assaulted on five sides, all at once, there are several verses that talk of this situation.

Thus, we might translate

Of heart, vigour, glory the realm will change,
On all points it will have, its opposing enemies;
Then France through the death of one will be commanded by a mere child,
The great Regent will then be even more opposed to them.
