Chapter XIII: French

Text size

L’aventurier, six cens, & six ou neuf,
Sera surpris par fiel mis dans un Oeuf,
Et peu apres sera hors de puissance,
Par le puissant Empereur General,
Qu’ou Monde nest an pereil ny esgal,
Dont un chascun luy rend obeissance.

English.

The adventurer, six hundred, six or nine,
Shall be surprised by Gall put into an Egge,
And a little while after shall be out of power,
By the potent Emperour General,
To whom in the world there is not his like or equal,
Wherefore every one yieldeth obedience to him.

ANNOT.

This Prophecie was concerning the Duke of _Savoy_ and _Henry_ the IV. for about that time mentioned by the Author, after the death of Marshal _de Biron_, who sided with the Duke of _Savoy_ (which death is called here Gall put into an Egg;) the Duke of _Savoy_ refused to perform the treaty concerning the restitution of the Marquisate of _Saluces_, wherefore _Henry_ the IV. went and subdued most of his Countrey, and compelled him to give the Province of _Bresse_ instead of the said Marquisate.
