Hi Robert,
These are the first lines of a 16th century song.

16th Century French Inscription by a King?
Hello, I found a strange inscription in an early 16th century book. The way it is signed "Louis" makes me think it could be by Louis the 13th? Not sure. Interesting nonetheless.
Thank you all for your help with deciphering this!

Louis XIII had a different way of writing his name.
An is correct: it's a 16th century poem/ song (about syphilis!)
My transcription:
A cinq cent diables la verolle
et l'ort vaisseau ou je la prins
Je nay dent qui ne bransle ou ...
A cinq cent
la goutte si me prinst
folle
et suys dulceres tout esprins
A cinqieme
Robert
