Alas! What a great loss there will be to learning
before the cycle of the Moon is completed.
Fire, great floods, by more ignorant rulers;
how long the centuries until it is seen to be restored.
La grand parte las que feront les lettres,
Auant le cycle de Laton parfaict:
Feu grand deluge plus par ignares sceptres,
Que de long siecle ne se verra refaict.
