De fin _Porphire_ profond Collon trouvée
Dessoubs la laze escrits Capitolin,
Os, poil retors, _Romain_ force prouvée,
Classe agiter au Port de _Methelin_.
English.
A deep Column of fine _Porphyry_ shall be found,
Under whose Basis shall be _Roman_ writings,
Bones, haires twisted, _Roman_ force tried,
A Fleet a gathering about the Port of _Methelin_.
ANNOT.
_Porphiry_ is a kind of hard red Marble speckled with white spots, which
is very scarce, and chiefly in great pieces; our Author then saieth that
a great Colomn of that stuff shall be found, and about the Basis of it
some words in Roman Characters, and that about that time a great Fleet
shall be a gathering at the Port of _Methelin_, which is an Island in the
_Archipelago_, belonging now to the _Turks_, as for the third Verse, I
cannot tell what to make of it.
XXXIII.

_Hercules_ Roy de _Rome_ & _Dannemark_,
De _Gaule_ trois _Gayon_ surnommé,
Trembler l’_Itale_ & l’un de Saint _Marc_,
Premier sur tous Monarque renommée.
English.
_Hercules_ King of _Rome_, and _Denmark_,
Of _France_ three _Guyon_ surnamed,
Shall cause _Italy_ to quake and one of St. _Marck_,
He shall be above all a famous Monarch.
ANNOT.
All these intricated words and sense foretell that, when a King of
_Danmarck_ named _Hercules_ shall be made King of the _Romans_, that
then _Italy_ and _Venice_ it self shall stand in great fear of him; and
that he shall be as great a Prince or Monarch as ever was in _Europe_;
and that very likely, for by his dignity of King of the _Romans_ he
consequently shall attain to the Empire.

Le part solus Mary sera Mitré;
Retour conflict passera sur la tuille,
Par cinq cens un trahir sera tultré,
_Narbon_ & _Saulce_ par coutaux avons d’huile.

The separated Husband shall wear a Miter,
Returning, Battle he shall go over the Tyle,
By five hundred one dignified shall be betrayed,
_Narbon_ and _Salces_ shall have Oil by the Quintal.
ANNOT.
The first Verse signifieth, that some certain man who was married, shall
be parted from his wife, and shall attain to some great Ecclesiastical
Dignity.
The second Verse is, that in coming back from some place or entreprise,
he shall be met and fought with, and compelled to escape over the Tyles
of a House.
The third Verse is, that a man of great account shall be betrayed by five
hundred of his men.
And the last, that when these things shall come te pass, _Narbon_ and
_Salces_, which are two Cities of _Languedoc_, shall reap and make a
great deal of Oil.

Quitter la fleur suivre le _Macedon_,
Au grand besoing defaillira sa routte,
Et marchera contre le _Myrmidon_.
