This Prophecy is concerning the City of _Lion_ in _France_, which is
a Town of an exceeding great Trade, and is threatned to suffer an
alteration, and a decay by War.
The last Verse is concerning a great Mist or Fogg, which shall be upon
_Mont-Jura_ and in _Suabeland_.

Entre _Campagne_, _Sienne_, _Pise_ & _Ostié_,
Six mois neuf jours ne pleuvra une goute,
L’Estrange Langue en Terre _Dalmatie_,
Courira sus vastant la Terre toute.
English.
Between _Campania_, _Sienna_, _Pisa_ and _Ostia_,
For six Months and nine days there shall be no rain,
The strange Language in _Dalmatia_’s Land,
Shall overrun, spoiling all the Countrey.
ANNOT.
All those places mentioned, in the first Verse are seated in _Italy_; the
Author saith that in that Countrey it shall not rain for the space of six
Months and nine days, which if it be past, or to come, I know not.
The two last Verses signifie, that a strange Nation shall come into
_Dalmatia_, and overrun and spoil all that Countrey.

French.
Le vieux plein barbe soubs le statut severe,
A Lion fait dessus l’Aigle Celtique,
Le petit grand trop outre persevere,
Bruit d’Arme au Ciel, Mer rouge _Ligustique_.
English.
The old plain beard under the severe Statute,
Made at _Lion_ upon the _Celtique_ Aigle,
The little great persevereth too far,
Noise of Arms in the Skie, the _Ligustrian_ Sea made red.
ANNOT.
I could scrape no sense out of the first three Verses; the last
signifieth, that a noise of Arms shall be heard in the Skies, and that
the _Ligustrian_ Sea, which is that of _Genoa_, shall be made red with
blood, when the former prodigy hath appeared.
LXXXVI.
French.
Naufrage a classe pres d’Onde _Adriatique_,
La Terre tremble emeue sur l’Air en Terre mis
_Ægypt_ tremble augment Mahometique,
L’Heraut soy rendre a crier est commis.
English.
A Fleet shall suffer Shipwrack near the _Adriatick_ Sea,
The Earth quaketh, a motion of the Air cometh upon the Land,
_Ægypt_ trembleth for fear of the Mahometan increase.
The Herald surrendring shall be appointed to cry.
ANNOT.
In the two first Verses is foretold a great storm by the _Adriatick_ Sea,
in which a Fleet shall be dispersed, and many suffer Shipwrack.
The two last Verses relate the great fear _Ægypt_ was in, when the great
Turk _Sultan Selyn_ went to conquer it.
The last Verse is concerning a Herald, which was surrendered to the
contrary party, and by them was appointed to perform that office in their
behalf.
LXXXVII.
French.
Apres viendra des extremes Contrées,
Prince _Germain_ dessus Throsne d’Oré,
La servitude & les Eaux rencontrées,
La Dame serve son temps plus n’adoré.
English.
After that shall come out of the remote Countreys,
A _German_ Prince upon a gilded Throne,
The slavery and waters shall meet,
The Lady shall serve, her time no more worshipped.
