Near _Rion_ going to _Blanchelaine_,
_Aries_, _Taurus_, _Cancer_, _Leo_, _Virgo_,
_Mars_, _Jupiter_, _Sol_ shall burn a great Plain,
Woods and Cities, Letters hidden in a wax Candle.
ANNOT.
The meaning of it is, that when by the virtues and meetings of the said
Constellations, a great plain shall be burnt by _Rion_ (which is a City
in _Auvergne_) that then Letters shall be found hidden in a wax Candle.
XXXVI.
French.
Ne bien ne mal par bataille terrestre,
Ne parviendra au confins de perouse,
Rebeller pise, _Florence_ voir mal estre,
Roy nuit blessé sur mulet a noire house.
English.
Neither good nor evil by a Land-fight,
Shall reach to the Borders of _Perusa_,
_Pisa_ shall rebel, _Florence_ shall be in an ill case,
A King being upon his Mule shall be wounded in the night time.
ANNOT.
_Perusa_, _Pisa_, and _Florence_ are Cities in Italy; the rest is plain.
XXXVII.

L’œuvre ancienne se parachevera,
Du toit cherra sur le grand mal ruine,
Innocent fait, mort on accusera,
Nocent caché taillis a bruine.
English.
The ancient work shall be finished,
From the tiling shall fall upon the great one an evil ruine,
The innocent declared to be so, shall be accused after his death,
The guilty shall be hidden in a wood in a misty weather.
ANNOT.
By the first Verse is understood an ancient building, which shall be
finished and brought to perfection, I suppose it to be the _Louvere_,
which hath been a building in the Reign of seven Kings. But before it be
throughly finished, some ruine shall fall upon a great man and kill him;
one declared innocent of the fact shall be accused of it after his death,
and he that shall be guilty of it shall escape by hiding himself in a
Wood in misty weather.
XXXVIII.
French.
Aux profligez de Paix les ennemis,
Apres avoir l’_Italie_ superée,
Noir sanguinaire, rouge sera commis,
Feu, sang verser, eau de sang colorée.
English.
To the vanquished the enemies of peace,
After they shall have overcome _Italy_,
A bloody black one shall be committed,
Fire and blood shall be powerd, and water coloured with blood.
ANNOT.
A bloody black man shall be put into the hands of the vanquished, by
those that were enemies to peace, after they have conquered _Italy_,
whence shall proceed fire and blood, and water coloured with blood.
XXXIX.
French.
L’Enfant du Regne par Paternelle prinse,
Expolier sera pour delivrer,
Aupres du Lac _Trasym_ en la Tour prinse,
La troupe hostage pour trop fort s’enyvrer.
English.
The Child of the Kingdom, through his Fathers imprisonement,
Shall be deprived of his Kingdom for the delivering of his father,
Near the Lake _Trasymene_ shall be taken in a Tower,
The troop that was in Hostage, being drunk.
ANNOT.
