To a new high Monarch come from low estate,
Who being a Tyrant shall cease upon _Pise_ and _Luica_,
To correct the faults of him that preceded him.

When a hunted Wolf shall rest upon a truckle bed.

Shall be found in the Temple of the Vestals,
A Child shall be found, Water running through a Sieve,
