Chapter LXXXVII: French

Un fils de Roy tant de Langues apprins,
A son Aisné au Regne different,
Son Pere beau au plus grand fils comprins,
Fera perir principal adherent.

English.

A son of a King having learned divers Languages,
Shall fall out with his elder Brother for the Kingdom,
His father in Law being more concerned with his elder son,
Shall cause the principal adherent to perish.

ANNOT.

One King shall have two Sons, the eldest shall succeed him in the Kingdom, the youngest having been well brought up and educated, shall raise troubles, against the King his Brother; but he shall be destroyed by the means of his own Father in Law.

LXXXVIII.

French.

La grand _Antoine_ du nom de fait sordide,
De _Phtyriase_ a son dernier rongé,
Un qui de plomb voudra este cupide,
Passant le port d’_Esleu_ sera plongé.

English.

The great _Antony_ by name, but in effect sordid,
Of _Phtyriasis_ shall at last be eaten up,
One that shall be covetous of Lead,
Going upon Port d’_Esleu_ shall fall into the Water.

ANNOT.

_Phtyriasis_ in Greek is the disease called by the Latines _Morbus pedicularis_, when one is devoured by Lice, as were _Herodes_, _Sylla_, _Pherecydes_, and _Philip_ II. King of _Spain_, &c.

As for Port d’_Esleu_, the question is, whether it be the proper name of a place, or the name of a man, that shall throw another in the water.

LXXXIX.

French.

Trente de _Londres_ secret conjureront,
Contre Leur Roy, sur le pont l’Entreprise,
Les _Satellites_ la mort desgouteront,
Un Roy esleu blond & natif de _Frize_.

English.

Thirty of _London_ shall secretly conspire,
Against their King, upon the Bridge the Plot shall be made,
These _Satellites_ shall taste of death,
A King shall be elected, fair, and born in _Friezeland_.

ANNOT.

Here may be alleadged that passage of Scripture, _There is nothing so secret but shall be revealed_; for here is plainly told the number of those wicked persons, who conspired against their lawful Sovereign King _Charles_ I. of blessed memory, as also the place where the Plot was first laid; for it is well known that they used to assemble at the _Bear_ at the Bridge foot.

XC.

French.

Les deux copies au murs ne pourront joindre,
Dans cet instant trembler _Milan_, _Thesin_,
Faim soif, doutance si fort les viendront prendre,
Chair, pain, ne vivres nauront un seul boucin.

English.

The two Armies shall not be able to joyn by the Walls,
At that instant _Milan_ and _Thesin_ shall tremble,
Hunger, thirst, and fear shall so seize upon them,
They shall not have a bit of meat, bread, nor victuals.

ANNOT.

_Milan_ is a City in _Italy_, and _Thesin_ is the River that passeth by it.
