On ne tiendra pache aucun arresté, Tous recevants iront par tromperie, De trefue & paix, Terre & Mer protesté, Par _Barcelone_ classe prins d’industrie. English. No agreement shall be kept, All those that shall admit of it deal falsly, There shall be protestations made by Land and Sea, _Barcelone_ shall take a Fleet by craft. ANNOT. This is a description of the sad and calamitous estate of _France_, in the time of the Civil wars, when no agreement could be kept on the _Roman_ Catholicks side, witness the several Peaces that were made and broken, the Massacre of _Vassa_, and that infamous perfidy committed by them on St. _Bartholomews_ day, being the 24 of _August_, _Anno_ 1572. LXV. French. Gris & bureau demy ouverte guerre, De nuit seront assaillis & pillez, Le bureau prins passera par la serre, Son Temple ouvert, deux au plastre grillez. English. Between the Gray and sad Gray shall be half open War, By night they shall be assaulted and plundered, The sad Gray being taken, shall be put in Custody, His Temple shall be open, two shall be put in the Grate. ANNOT. This Stanza affordeth us a commical History, which is, that about the year 1601. when there sprang up in _France_ a Kind of Friers, who bosted themselves to be the true observers of the Rule of St. _Francis_, and that the Cordeliers and Capushines did not keep it so exactly, but they had need of a great reformation; the King _Henry_ IV. granted them a Convent at _Beaufort_, and upon his example many other places desired them, they went to possess themselves of the house of _la Blamet_, near _Angiers_; but the Cordeliers being loath to be dispossessed by these new comers, called _Recollets_, did besiege them by main force, broke open the Gates, scaled the Walls, the besieged did not defend themselves by words or exorcismes, but with good Stones and Flints, so that if the people had not come, the fray would not have ended without murder, some of them were put in Prison, others kept in Custody: this is the meaning of the Author, when he saith, _There will be half an open War between the Gray and the sad Gray_; for the Cordeliers have a Gray habit, and the Recollets a sad Gray. LXVI. French. Au fondement de nouvelle secte, Seront les os du grand _Romain_ trouvez, Sepulchre en Marbre, apparoistra converte, Terre trembler en _Auril_ mal enfeüvez. English. At the foundation of a new sect, The Bones of the great _Roman_ shall be found, The Sepulchre shall appear covered with Marble, The Earth shall quake in _April_, they shall be ill buried. ANNOT. The meaning is, that when they shall go about to make a foundation of a house, for a new Sect of Friers; they shall find the bones of a famous _Roman_ in a Marble Sepulchre, and that in _April_ the Earth shall quake, whereby many shall be swallowed up. LXVII. French.
