Chapter XXVII: French

Celeste seu du costé d’Occident,
Et du Midy courir jusqu’au Levant,
Vers demy morts sans point trouver racine,
Troisiesme Age a _Mars_ le Belliqueux,
Des _Escarboucles_ on verra briller feux,
Age _Escarboucle_, & a la fin famine.

English.

A Cœlestial fire on the West side,
And from the South shall run to the East,
Warm, half dead, and incapable to find Roots,
The third Age to _Mars_ the Warriour,
Out of _Carbuncles_ fires shall be seen to shine,
The Age shall be a _Carbuncle_, but in the end famine.

ANNOT.

This signifies nothing but the troubles that were all _France_ over, from the year 1620. to the year 1628. when _Rochel_ was taken, and the great famine that was in the year 1626.
