The great Carpet folded shall not shew, But by half the greatest part of the History, The driven out of the Kingdom shall appear sharp afar off, In Warlike matters every one shall believe him. ANNOT. This needeth no interpretation. LXII. French. Trop tard tous deux les fleurs seront perdües, Contre lay loy Serpent ne voudra faire, Des ligueurs forces par gallops confondues, _Savone_, _Albingue_, par _Monech_ grand martyre. English. Both the flowers shall be lost too late, Against the Law the Serpent will do nothing, The forces of the Leaguers by gallops shall be confounded, _Savone_, _Albingue_, by _Monech_ shall suffer great pain. ANNOT. The two first verses are too mistical for me; the third signifieth, that by gallops; that is, by Troops of Horses, the Leaguers, _viz._ those that held the party of the League, shall be routed by the Kings Cavalry. The fourth, that _Savone_ and _Albingue_, two Towns of the _Genoeses_, shall be put to much trouble by those of _Monech_ and _Monaco_, another Town near them, belonging to the Prince of _Monaco_, a _Genoese_ of the house of _Grimald_. LXIII. French. La Dame seule au Regne demurée, L’unique esteint premier au lict d’honneur, Sept ans sera de douleur epleurée, Puis longue vie au regne par bonheur. English. The Lady shall be left to reign alone, The only one being extinguished, first in the Bed of Honour, Seven years she shall weep for grief, After that she shall live long in the Reign by good luck. ANNOT. The second and fourth Verses perswade me, that this Stanza came to pass in the time of _Catharine_ of _Medicis_, wife to _Henry_ II. because she lived long, and the King died in the bed of Honour, and thus he saith, _that she was left to Reign alone_; because her four Sons were all little ones, so that she alone was Regent in _France_. The second Verse saith, _The holy one being extinguished, first, in the Bed of Honour_. By this word _the only one_, the Author meaneth not the only Son, but the only one living, such as _Henry_ II. was to her, _who was extinguished in the Bed of Honour_, and died of the wound he received at Tilting. The third Verse saith, that after his death, her mourning lasted seven years, that is, from the first of _August_ 1559. to the first of _August_ 1566. because that all those 16 Months that _Francis_ II. she had nothing but continual sorrow, by the conspiracy of _Amboise_, the secret practises of the King of _Navarre_, and Prince of _Condé_ his Brother, by the insurrection of the Protestants, when _Charles_ IX. visited his Kingdom, _Anno_ 1556. after which she put off her mourning. The fourth Verse signifieth, that she should be long lived; for she lived above 60 years, He saith also, that she was Regent by great luck, that is, great luck for her self, but not for the Kingdom, for it was most unhappy in her time.
