The King of _Blois_ in _Avignon_ shall Reign Another time the people do murmur, He shall cause in the _Rhosne_ to be bathed through the Walls, As many as five, the last shall be near _Nole_. ANNOT. This foretelleth that a King of _France_ shall take _Avignon_, which is a City in _France_ belonging to the Pope. And that some of the people beginning to murmur and mutiny, he shall cause five of them to be thrown over the Walls into the _Rhosne_, which is a swift River that passeth by. _Nole_ must be some place thereabouts. XXXIX. French. Qu’aura esté par Prince _Bizantin_, Sera tollu par Prince de _Tholose_, La foy de _Foix_, par le chef _Tholentin_, Luy faillira ne refusant l’espouse. English. What shall have been by a _Bizantin_ Prince, Shall be taken away by the Prince of _Tholose_, The faith of _Foix_ by the chief _Tholentin_, Shall fail him, not refusing the Spouse. ANNOT. I can understand nothing else by Prince _Bizantin_, but some Prince of the house of _Gonzague_, who derive their pedigree from that of the _Palæologues_, formerly Emperours of _Constantinople_, called in ancient time _Bizantium_. As for the Prince of _Tholose_, there having been none this two or three hundred years since that Country was devolved to the Crown of _France_; but the King himself, I suppose he must be understood here; so that the sense of this Prophecie, (if any be) is, that the King of _France_ shall take something from the Duke of _Mantua_, who is the head of the _Gonzagues_, as he hath done formerly several times. By the faith of _Foix_, is understood the late Duke of _Rohan_, who descended from the house of _Foix_, and who did war against the said Duke of _Mantua_ at that time, when the King of _France_, _Lewis_ XIII. would not suffer his Brother the Duke of _Orleans_ to Marry the Princess _Mary_, Daughter of the Duke of _Nevers_, of the house of _Gonzague_, and lately Queen of _Poland_. XL. French. Le sang du juste par _Taur_ & la _Dorade_, Pour se vanger contre les _Saturnins_, Au nouveau Lac plongeront la _Mainade_, Puis marcheront contre les _Albanins_. English. The blood of the just by _Taur_ and _Dorade_, To avenge themselves against the _Saturnins_, In the new Lake shall sink the _Mainade_, Then shall go forth against the _Albanins_. ANNOT. Here the Author hath kept his mind to himself, as for my part, being ignorant of his barbarous words, I had rather leave the sense of this to the judgment of the Reader, than by an incongruous and far fetched interpretation make my self ridiculous. XLI. French. Esleu sera Renard ne sonnant mot, Faisant le Saint public, vivant pain d’orge, Tyranniser apres tant a un cop, Mettant le pied des plus grands sur la gorge. English.
