Las quelle fureur, helas quelle pitie, Il y aura entre beaucoup de gens, On ne vit onc une tell amitié, Qu’auront les Loups a courir diligens. English. Ha! what fury, alas what pitty, There shall be betwixt many people, There was never seen such a friendship, As the Wolfs shall have in being diligent to run. ANNOT. It is indeed a great fury and pity to see how wicked people, and chiefly Usurers and false dealers, (understood here by the name of Wolfs) are diligent in doing mischief, and to make good the old Proverb, _Homo homini Lupus_, there being no other Creature but the Wolf that devours those of his own kind. IV. French. Beaucoup de gens viendront parlementer, Aux grand Seigneurs qui leur feront la guerre, On ne voudra en rien les escouter, Helas! si Dieu n’envoie Paix en Terre. English. Many folks shall come to speak, To great Lords that shall make War against them, They shall not be admitted to a hearing, Alas! if God doth not send Peace upon Earth. ANNOT. This carrieth its sense with it, and is plain. V. French. Plusieurs secours viendront de tous costez, De gens lointains qui voudront resister, Ils seront tout a coup bien hastez, Mais ne pourront pour cette heure assister. English. Many helps shall come on all sides, Of people far off, that would fain to resist, They shall be upon a sudden all very hasty, But for the present they shall not be able to assist. ANNOT. This seemeth to point at this present conjuncture of affairs, where there is so many buisying themselves about the relief of _Flanders_, of which I see no great likelihood. VI. French. Las quel plaisir ont Princes estrangers, Garde toy bien qu’en ton Pais ne _Vienne_, Il y auroit de terribles dangers, Et en maintes Contrées, mesme en la _Vienne_. English. Ha! what pleasure take Forrain Princes? Take heed least any should come into thy Countrey, There should be terrible dangers, In several Countreys, and chiefly in _Vienna_. ANNOT. There is two Towns called _Vienna_’s, one is in _Germany_, in the Province of _Austria_, and is the Emperours Seat, the other in _France_, a metter of twenty miles beyond _Lion_, the rest is easie.
