By the three Sisters, he meaneth the three Destinies, _viz._ _Clotho_, _Lachesis_ and _Atropos_, which the Poets have fained to Spin every mans destiny, which he calleth here _Fato_, from the Latin word _Fatum_. The rest may be interpreted as well by the Reader, as by my self. LXXVII. French. Entre deux Mers dressera promontoire, Qui puis mourra par le mors du Cheval, Le fier _Neptune_ pliera Voile noire, Par _Calpre_, & Classe aupres de _Rocheval_. English. Between two Seas shall a Promontory be raised, By him, who shall die by the biting of a Horse, The proud _Neptune_ shall fold the black Sail. Through _Calpre_, and a fleet shall be near _Rocheval_. ANNOT. I could not find what he meaneth by _Calpre_, nor by _Rocheval_, which I suppose to be the proper names of places, when he saith, that proud _Neptune_ shall fold the black Sail; he maketh an allusion to the History of _Theseus_, Son of _Ægeus_ King of _Athens_, who being sent with other Children into _Candia_, to become a prey to the _Minotaure_, his Father sent the Ship with black _Sails_, as in a case of Mourning, charging _Theseus_, that if he came back again safe he should put on white Sails, but coming in sight of _Athens_, _Theseus_ for joy forgot to put on the white Sails, so that his Father _Ægeus_ thinking he had miscarried, cast himself from a Rock into the Sea, so that he saying that _Neptune_ shall fold the black Sail, he meaneth, that there shall be joyful news. LXXVIII. French. D’un chef vieillard naistre sens habeté, Degenerant par scavoir & par Armes, Le chef de _France_ par sa Sœur redouté, Champs divisez concedez aux Gensdarmes. English. An old head shall beget an Idiot, Who shall degenerate in Learning and in Arms, The head of _France_ shall be feared by his sister, The fields shall be divided and granted to the Troopers. ANNOT. The sense of this is so plain, that any body may make his interpretation of it. LXXIX. French. _Bazas_, L’_Estoure_, _Condom_, _Auch_, _Agine_, Esmeus par Loix, querelle & Monopole, Car _Bourd_, _Tholose_, _Bay_, mettra en ruine, Renouveler voulant leur _Tauropole_. English. _Bazas_, L’_Estoure_, _Condom_, _Auch_, _Agen_, Being moved by Laws, quarrels and Monopoly, For they shall put to ruine _Bordeaux_, _Tholose_, _Bayonne_, Going about to renew their _Tauropole_. ANNOT. This Key of the sense of this Stanza lieth in the last word _Tauropole_, which is compounded of the Latin word _Taurus_ a Bull, and of the Greek word πολέω, that is, to sell; so that the meaning of it is, that those Cities mentioned shall rise in Rebellion against the _Monopolites_, and those that shall lay a Tax upon Cattle. LXXX. French.
