>>6360821The first part is from "Ballade des menus propos" by François VILLON and it's in old french (1458) :
"Prince, je connois tout en somme,
Je connois coulourés et blêmes,
Je connois mort qui tout consomme,
Je connois tout, fors que moi-mêmes."
Prince, I am acquainted with all,
I am acquainted with the colorful and pale,
I am acquainted with the death that consumes everything,
I am acquainted with everything except my self.
But i can't read the second part.
