In the year that _Saturn_ and _Mars_ shall be fiery, The Air shall be very dry, in many Countreys, By secret fires, many places shall be burnt with heat, There shall be scarcity of Rain, hot Winds, Wars, in-roads. ANNOT. This is the Prognostication of a mighty dry season, and other accidents that shall happen when _Saturn_ and _Mars_ shall be in a fiery disposition, which whether it be by Opposition, Conjunction, Aspect, &c. Let the Astrologers judge. LXVIII. French. En l’an bien proche non esloigné de _Venus_, Les deux plus grands de l’_Asie_ & d’_Affrique_, Du _Rhine_ & _Ister_ qu’on dira sont venus, Cris, pleurs a _Malthe_, & coste _Ligustique_. English. In a year that is to come shortly, and not far from _Venus_, The two greatest ones of _Asia_ and _Affrica_, Shall be said to come from the _Rhine_ and _Ister_, Crying, and tears shall be at _Maltha_ and in the _Ligurian_ shore. ANNOT. The _Rhine_ is a River in _Germany_, _Ister_ is another in the Countrey of _Istria_, belonging to the _Venetians_. By the first Verse, I conclude that this Prophecy came to pass a little while after the Author wrote this Book, when the grand Segnor _Solyman_ besieged _Maltha_, and put in fear all the _Ligurian_ Coast, which is that of _Genoa_. LXIX. French. La Cité grande les exilez tiendront, Les Citadins morts, meurtris & chassez, Ceux d’_Aquilee_ a _Parme_ promettront, Monstrer l’entrée par les lieux non tracez. English. The banished shall keep the great City, The Citizens being dead, murdered and expelled, Those of _Aquileia_ shall promise to _Parma_, To shew the entrance by unknown paths. ANNOT. _Aquileia_ and _Parma_ are two Cities in _Italy_. The rest is easie. LXX. French. Bien contigu des grands Monts _Pyrenées_, Un contre l’Aigle grand copie, adresser, Ouvertes veines, forces exterminées, Que jusqu’au _Pau_ le chief viendra chasser. English. Near the great _Pyrenean_ Mountains, One shall raise a great Army against the Eagle, Veins shall be opened, forces driven out, So that the chief shall be driven as far as the _Pau_. ANNOT. By the Eagle here is understood the Empire; because his Ensign is an Eagle. LXXI. French. En lieu d’Espouse les Filles trucidées, Meurtre a grand faute, ne sera superstite, Dedans le puis vestues inondées, L’Espouse esteinte par haut d’Aconite. English. Instead of the Bride, the Maid shall be killed, The murder shall be a great fault, none shall be surviving, In the Well they shall be drowned with their Cloaths, The Bride shall be extinguished by an high Aconite. ANNOT.
