_Mesopotamia_ is a Greek word, signifying a Countrey between two Rivers; and though there be many Countreys so seated, yet to this day, it properly belongeth to that Countrey, that lyeth between the two famous Rivers _Tigris_ and _Euphrates_ near _Babylon_; the rest is easie. LXXI. French. Croistra le nombre si grand des Astronomes, Chassez bannis & livres censureq, L’An mil six cens & sept par sacrez glomes, Que nul au sacres ne seront asseurez. English. The number of Astronomers shall grow so great, Driven away, bannished, Books censured, The year one thousand six hundred and seven by sacred glomes, That none shall be secure in the sacred places. ANNOT. The sense of this is clear, _viz._ that about the year 1607. the number of Astronomers shall grow very great, of which some shall be expelled and banished, and their Books censured and suppressed: the rest is insignificant to me. LXXII. French. Champ _Perusin_ O l’Enorme deffaite, Et le conflict tout aupres de _Ravenne_, Passage sacra lors qu’on fera la feste, Vaincueur vaincu, Cheval mange L’avenne. English. _Perugian_ Field, O the excessive rout, And the fight about _Ravenna_, Sacred passage when the Feast shall be celebrated, The victorious vanquished, the Horse to eat up his Oats. ANNOT. _Perugia_ is a City in _Italy_, and so is _Ravenna_, by which it seemeth there shall be a notable Battle fought, as was once before in the time at _Lewis_ the XII. King of _France_ between _Gaston de Foix_ his Nephew, and _Don Raimond de Cardonne_ Vice-roy of _Naples_, for there the _French_ got the Battle; in conclusion of which, the said _Gaston de Foix_ pursuing a Troop of _Spaniards_ that were retiring, was unfortunately kill’d, and so the victorious were vanquished. LXXIII. French. Soldat Barbare le grand Roy frapera, Injustement non esloigné de mort, L’Avare Mere du fait cause sera, Conjurateur & Regne en grand remort. English. A Barbarous Souldier shall strike the King, Unjustly, not far from death, The covetous Mother shall be the cause of it, The Conspirator and Kingdom in great remorse. ANNOT. These words are so plain that they need no interpretation. LXXIV. French. En Terre neuve bien avant Roy entré, Pendant subjects luy viendront faire accueil, Sa parfidie aura tel rencontré, Qu’aux Citadins lieu de feste & recueil. English. A King being entered far into a new Countrey, Whilst his Subjects shall come to welcom him, His perfidiousness shall find such an encounter, That to the Citizens it shall be instead of feast and welcom. ANNOT. The sense of this seemeth to be, that a certain King being far got into a new conquered Countrey, where he shall deal perfidiously with his Subjects, that then he shall meet with such an accident, as to his Citizens shall be instead of feast & welcom. LXXV. French.
