Three Prophecies are contained in this Stanza, the first that the _English_ shall make an incursion in _Gascony_; the second, that there shall be a great dearth by Rains and Frosts; the third, that the _Turks_ shall make great Incursion. II. French. La teste glue sera la teste blanche, Autant de mal que _France_ a fait leur bien, Mort a l’_Anthene_, grand pendu fus la branche, Quand prins des siens, le Roy dira combien. English. The Glue-head shall do the white head As much harm, as _France_ hath done it good, Dead at the Sails yard, a great one hang’d on a Tree, When a King taken by his own, shall say, how much? ANNOT. I did never find that word of Glue-head before in any Author, and I believe if _Cotgrave_ were alive again, it would puzzle him to give the interpretation thereof. The third and fourth signifie, that one shall be hanged on the Sails-yard, and another on a Tree, when a King shall be taken by his own Men, and shall say how much? that is, how much money shall I give you to set me free. III. French. Par la chaleur Solaire sur la Mer, De _Negrepont_, les Poissons demy cuits, Les Habitans les viendront entamer, Quand _Rhode_ & _Genes_ leur faudra le Biscuit. English. By the heat of the Sun upon the Sea Of _Negrepont_, the Fishes shall be half broiled, The Inhabitants shall come to cut them up, When _Rhodes_ and _Genoa_ shall want Biscake. ANNOT. _Negrepont_ is an Island of the _Archipelago_ near _Morea_, anciently called _Eubœa_. _Rhodes_ is another Island, and, _Genoa_ a City in _Italy_, by the Seaside. The rest is plain. IV. French. Depuis _Monac_ jusqu’aupres de _Sicile_, Toute la plage demoura desolée, Il ny aura Fauxbourgs, Cité, ne Ville, Que par _Barbares_ pillée soit & volée. English. From _Monaco_ as far as _Sicily_, All the Sea coast shall be left desolate, There shall not be Suburbs, Cities, nor Towns, Which shall not be pillaged and plundred by _Barbarians_. ANNOT. _Monaco_ is a Town seated by the Sea-side in _Italy_, between _Provence_ and _Genoa_. This Prophecy hath been once already fulfilled, when the famous Pyrate _Barbarossa_, being sent by the grand Seignor, to help the _French_ King against the Emperour _Charles_ the V. in his return home, plundered all that Coast, and carried away an innumerable multitude of people into slavery. V. French. Quand dans Poisson, Fer & Lettre enfermée, Hors sortira qui puis fera la Guerre, Aura par Mer sa classe bien ramée; Aparoissant pres de _Latine_ Terre. English. When in a Fish, Iron and a Letter shall be shut up, He shall go out that afterwards shall make War, He shall have his Fleet by Sea well provided, Appearing by the _Roman_ Land. ANNOT. The words and the sense are plain. VI. French.
