Chapter VII: French

Text size

La Sangsue au Loup se joindra,
Lors qu’en Mer le bled defaudra,
Mais le grand Prince sans envie,
Par Ambassade luy donra,
De son bled pour luy donner vie,
Pour un besoing s’en pourvoira.

English.

The Leech will joyn it self to the Wolf,
When in the Sea Corn shall be wanting,
But the great Prince without envy,
By Embassy shall give him,
Of his Corn to give him life,
Of which in his need he shall make provision.

ANNOT.

By the _Leech_ is understood the _Spaniard_. By the _Wolf_ is meant the _French_, by reason of the multitude of those Creatures in that Kingdom; the meaning therefore of this Prophecy is, that there should be a great famine in _Spain_, wherein the _Spaniard_ should be constrained to make his application to the _French_ for relief of Corn, which should be granted him. This happened in the year 1665 for you must understand that most of these last Prophecies were to be fulfilled in the Reign of _Henry_ IV.
