Text size

L’An mil six cens & neuf ou quatorziesme
Le vieux _Charon_ sera Pasques en Caresme,
Six cens & six par escrit le mettra,
Le Medecin de tout cecy s’estonne,
A mesme temps assigné en personne,
Mais pour certain l’un deux comparoistra.

English.

In the year a thousand six hundred and nine or fourteen,
The old _Charon_ shall Celebrate _Easter_ in Lent,
Six hundred and six shall put it in writing,
The Physician wondereth at all this.
At the same time being Cited in person,
But for certain, one of them shall appear.

ANNOT.

This signifieth that about the time mentioned by the Author, some great one should be very sick in Lent, and should eat flesh, which is called here to _Celebrate Easter in Lent_; and that his Physician wondering at it should fall sick himself, and that without fail, one of them two should die.
