The plundering draweth near, here the Author speaketh of things that
should happen in his days. He writ this the first of _March_ 1555.
and History mentioneth that from the first of _March_ 1555. till the
beginning of 1559. the plundering of _Piemont_ in _Italy_ was very great,
since the taking of _Cazal_ by the _French_, for there was nothing but
continual fightings, taking and retaking Towns, Skirmishes and Battles,
and most of them by the River _Pau_, the greatest of _Italy_. The rest
of the second Verse, and the beginning of the third saith, that the
undertaking of _Genoa_ shall be by the Herdsmen, by whom he meaneth the
_Turks_, who being called by the _French_ to help them in the taking of
_Nice_, made an action fit for Herdsmen and villanous Traitors, doing
nothing, because they had been bribed by the _Genoeses_.
This was done after the _French_ had stay’d long for this infidel, who
endeavoured to delude the _French_, and take all for himself; and this
is the meaning of, _After Nice had stayed long_. In the mean time the
_Spaniards_ increased their Victories, as the fourth Verse witnesseth to
the taking of _Fossan_, _Thurin_, and _Savillan_.
_Fossan_ is a Town of _Piemont_, which that it might be distinguished
from _Marseilles_, which the Author often calleth _Fossen_ or _Phocen_,
he putteth in the Epithete of _Thurin_, to signifie he meaneth _Fossan_
in _Piemont_.
He saith that _Fossan_ of _Piemont_ shall have the taking towards
_Savillan_, that is, this _Fossan_ which belongeth to the _Spaniards_,
will take some Towns near _Sivillan_.

De _Languedoc_, & _Guienna_ plus de dix
Mille, voudront les _Alpes_ repasser.
Grans _Allobroges_ marcher contre _Brundis_,
_Aquin_ & _Bresse_ les viendront recasser.
English.
From _Languedoc_, and _Guienna_ more then 10000.
Would be glad to come back over the _Alpes_.
Great _Allobroges_ shall march against _Brundis_,
_Aquin_ and _Bresse_ shall beat them back.
ANNOT.
_Languedoc_ and _Guienne_ are two Provinces in _France_, from whence many
Souldiers shall be raised to go into _Italy_, but being distressed, shall
wish to come back again over the _Alpes_. By the great _Allobroges_,
I understand those of _Savoy_ and _Piemont_, who shall go against
_Brundis_, in Latine _Brundusium_, but shall be beaten back by _Aquin_
and _Bresses_, Cities belonging to the _Venetians_.

Dresser Copie de la marche _Millane_,

Out of the Royal Mount shall be born in a Cottage,
One that shall tyranise over Duke and Earl,
He shall raise an Army in the Land of _Millan_,
He shall exhaust _Favence_ and _Florence_ of their gold.
ANNOT.
This needeth no Interpretation.
