Text size

_Urnel_, _Vaucile_, sans conseil de soy mesmes,
Hardy, timide par crainte prins vaincu,
Accompagné de plusieurs putains, blesme,
A _Barcelonne_ aux Chartreux convaincu.

English.

_Urnel_, _Vaucile_, without advice of his own,
Stout and fearful, by fear taken and overcome,
Pale, and in company of many Whores,
Shall be convicted at _Barcelone_ by the Charterhouse.

ANNOT.

This Stanza is an Horoscope, which the Author made upon that Gentleman named _Urnel Vaucille_, and signifieth that the said man should find himself in such perplexity that he could not be able to take advice what to do, and that fear should make him hide himself, to be apprehended, in a place where he should be taken.

When he was taken, he was presently convicted of those crimes that he was accused of: therefore the Officers of Justice did conduct him to the Charter-house of _Barcelone_, which is four miles from the said Town, in a place called _Campo alegre_, for the beauty and situation of it, to that place many Whores did accompany him to receive the punishment they had deserved, therefore the Author saith that he went thither pale, as foreseeing the terrour of the punishment he was to undergo.
