Par Terre _Attique_ chef de la sapience, Qui de present est la Rose du Monde, Pont ruiné & sa grand preeminence, Sera subdite & naufrage des Ondes. English. In the Countrey of _Attica_ which is the head of wisdom, And now is the Rose of the World, A Bridge shall be ruinated with its great preeminence, It shall be subdued, and made a wrack by the Waves. ANNOT. He foretelleth the destruction of a famous Bridge in the Countrey of _Attica_, of which _Athens_ is the chief City, and because it was always famous for learning, he calleth it here the head of Wisdom; and that Wisdom, the Rose of the World. XXXII. French. Ou tout bon est, tout bien Soleil & Lune, Est abondant, sa ruine s’approche, Le Ciel s’advance a changer ta fortune, En mesme estat que la septiesme Roche. English. Where all well is, all good O Sun and Moon, Is existent, his ruine draweth near, The Heaven is making hast to change thy fortune, Into the same case as the seventh Rock is. ANNOT. By this dark Stanza, the Author seemeth to foretell the woful condition of a Countrey that was happy before, but shall fall to ruine, I suspect he intended _France_, because being a _Frenchman_ he did not name it, for I think there was never such a change in the world as was in that Kingdom, in the time of the Civil Wars between the Roman Catholicks, and the Protestants. XXXIII. French. Des principaux de Cité rebellée, Qui tiendront fort pour liberté r’avoir, Detrencher masles, infœlice meslée! Cris, hurlemens a _Nantes_ pitieux voir. English. Of the chief men in a rebelled City, Who shall stand out to recover their liberty, The Males shall be cut in pieces, O unhappy quarrel! Cries and houlings, it shall be pity to see at _Nantes_. ANNOT. The Author applyeth this Prophecie to the City of _Nantes_ in _Britany_, but want of Books that treat of the History of that Countrey; I could neither satisfie my self, nor the Reader, if this hath come to pass already or not. XXXIV. French. Du plus profond de l’occident _Anglois_, Ou est le chef de l’Isle _Britanique_, Entrera classe en _Garonne_ par _Blois_, Par Vin & Sel faux cachez aux barriques. English. From the deepest Westerly part of _England_, Where the chief of the _Britain_ Island is, A Fleet shall come into the _Garonne_ by _Blaye_, By Wine and Salt fire shall be hidden in Barrels. ANNOT. There is a notable and sensible error in the _French_ Copy, and without reforming it, the sense is not only obscure, but also impossible; for instead of _Blois_, which the Author hath put here, I suppose to make the rime good, it must be written _Blaye_, which is a Sea Town of the mouth of the River _Garonne_, and _Blois_ is a mid-Land Town, upon the River _Loire_, about a hundred Leagues distant from the other.
