The _Romans_, that is, those under the Pope, that shall take their part, shall be put to flight, and this battle shall be fought by the River _Thesin_.

There is a Lake in _Italy_ called _Lacus Fucinius_; the Lake of _Geneva_ is called _Lacus Lemanus_; the meaning then of this obscure Stanza, is, (if I understand any thing) that a Monster shall be _born with three Arms_, near one of those Lakes, which shall be a sign of great Wars: what he meaneth by the _three Crowns to the great Endymion_, is unknown to me.
