Of that great number which shall be sent, To succour the besieged in the Fort, Plague and Famine shall devour them all, Except seventy that shall be beaten. ANNOT. This is so plain, that it needeth no explication. XXXVIII. French. Des Condamnez sera fait un grand nombre, Quand les Monarques seront conciliez, Mais l’un deux viendra si mal encombre, Que guere ensemble ne seront raliez. English. There shall be a great number of condemned men, When the Monarchs shall be reconciled, But one of them shall come to such misfortune, That their reconciliation shall not last long. ANNOT. The words and sense of this are easie to be understood. XXXIX. French. Un an devant le conflict _Italique_, _Germains_, _Gaulois_, _Espagnols_ pour le Fort, Cherra l’Escole maison de republique, Ou horsmis peu, seront suffoquez morts. English. One year before the _Italian_ fight, _Germans_, _French_, _Spaniards_ for the Fort, The School-house of the Common-wealth shall fall, Where, except few, they shall be suffocated, and dead. ANNOT. It seemeth there should be a Battle between the _Italians_, _Germans_, _French_, _Spaniards_ for a Fort, which I suspect to have been that of _Serizoles_, wherein all those Nations were engaged, and that one year before that Battle, the publick house of a _Common-wealth_ should fall, and kill abundance of people; But of this I could find nothing in History. XL. French. Un peu apres non point long intervalle, Par Mer & Terre sera fait grand tumulte, Beaucoup plus grande sera pugne Navalle, Feu, Animaux, qui plus feront d’Insulte. English. A little while after, without any great distance of time, By Sea and Land shall a great tumult be made, The Sea fight shall be much greater, Fire and Beasts which shall make greater insult. ANNOT. This hath a Relation to a foregoing Stanza, and likewise is not hard to be understood. XLI. French. La grand Estoile par sept jours bruslera, Nuce fera deux Soleils apparoir, Le gros mastin toute nuit hurlera, Quand grand Pontife changera de terroir. English. The great Star shall burn for the space of seven days, A Cloud shall make two Suns appear, The big Mastif shall houl all night, When the great Pope shall change his Countrey. ANNOT. The meaning of this is, that those three Prodigies, contained in the first three Verses, shall appear when a _Pope_ changeth his Countrey. XLII. French. A Coq, Chiens, & Chats de sang seront repeus, Et de la playe du Tyran trouvé Mort, Au lict d’un autre, Jambes & Bras rompus, Qui n’avoit peu mourir de cruel Mort. English. A Cock, Dogs, and Cats shall be fed with Blood, And with the wound of the Tyrant found dead, In the bed of another, with Legs and Arms broken, Who could not die before by a cruel Death. ANNOT.
