The third and fourth Verse say, that this _Sea Legion_ shall seek an
Harbour in the Ocean, which shall be _a secure place, by a long rest_,
that is _Calais_. She will seek that _Selyn_ Harbour to shelter her self,
because _Calais_ did then belong to the _English_, but by reason of the
narrowness of the _Sea_, the _French_ watched for the _Spaniards_ there,
and to shew that they sought onely for _Calais_ to meet the _Spaniards_,
they carried the _Spanish_ Ships which they took into _Diepe_, and not
into _Calais_.
The _French_ Impression hath a fault here, putting _Port Hercle_ instead
of _Port Selyn_, which is a manifest error, for the taking of _Port
Hercle_ by the _Florentines_ the 14. of _June_ 1555. was by a Land Army,
besides, that _Port Selyn_ is always taken by the Author for a Port in
the Ocean.
XXIV.
French.
Ouy soubs Terre Sainte Dame voix feinte,
Humaine flamme pour Divine voir luire,
Fera des sœurs de leur sang Terre tainte,
Et les Saints Temples par les impurs destruire.
English.
Under ground shall be heard the fained voice of a Holy Dame,
An humane flame to see a Divine one,
Shall cause the ground to be died with the sisters blood,
And the Holy Temples to be destroyed by the wicked.
ANNOT.
Every one may understand this as well as I.
XXV.
French.
Corps sublimes sans fin a l’œil visibles,
Obnubiler viendront par ces raisons,
Corps, front compris, sens & chef invisibles,
Diminuant les Sacrées Oraisons.
English.
The Celestial bodies that are always visible to the eye,
Shall be darkened for these reasons,
The body with the forehead sense and head invincible.
Diminishing the Sacred Prayers.
ANNOT.
This is of the same nature as the foregoing.
XXVI.
French.
Lou grand Cyssame se levera d’abelhos,
Que non lauran don te siegen venguddos,
Denuech lenbousq, lun gach dessous las treilhos,
Ciutad trahido per cinq lengos non nudos.
English.
The great swarm of Bees shall rise,
And it shall not be known whence they come,
Towards the Ambush so the Jay shall be under a Vine,
A City shall be betray’d by five tongues not naked.
ANNOT.
The Author having made this Stanza in the _Provencal_ Language, that was
his Mother Tongue, which hath very little relation to the rest of the
_French_ tongue, hath put me to some trouble to understand it; at last
I found the meaning to be this, that when a great swarm of Bees shall
light on some place, and it shall not be known whence they came, then
shall be seen a Jay under a Vine, and a City shall be betrayed by five
several Nations.
XXVII.
French.
_Salon_, _Mansol_, _Tarascon_, _de Sex_, Larc,
Ou est debout encor la _Pyramide_,
Viendront livrer le Prince _Denemark_,
Rachat honny au Temple d’_Artemide_.
English.
