Chapter XIII: French

Par grand fureur le Roy _Romain Belgique_,
Veexer voudra par phalange _Barbare_,
Furent grinssant chassera gent _Lybique_,
Depuis _Pannons_ jusque _Hercules_ la bare.

English.

Through great anger the _Roman Belgick_ King,
Shall come to vex with _Barbarian_ Troops,
Gnashing with fury, he shall draw away the _Lybian_ people,
From the _Pannons_ as far as _Hercules_.

ANNOT.

By the _Roman Belgick_ King, is understood _Philip_ the second King of _Spain_; because he was made King in _Flanders_, by his father _Charles_ V.

The second Verse signifieth the diverse Nations that his Army was composed of.

In the third, by the _Lybian_ people are understood the _Jews_, which he drove away from _Spain_ into _Africa_.

The _Pannons_ are the people of _Hungary_, called _Pannones_, and the meaning that he drove them out as far as _Hercules_ Pillar, at the mouth of the Straits, signifies the great expulsion he made of them, which were about the number of 200000.

XIV.

French.

_Saturne_ & _Mars_ en _Leo Espagne_ captifue,
Par chef _Lybique_ au conflict attrapé,
Proche de _Malte_, Herede Prinse vive,
Et _Romain_ Sceptre sera par _Coq_ frappé.

English.

_Saturn_ and _Mars_ being in _Leo_, _Spain_ shall be captive,
By a _Lybian_ General taken in the Battle,
Near _Malta_, an Heirse shall be taken alive,
And the _Roman_ Scepter shall be strucken by the _Cock_.

ANNOT.

By the _Cock_ is meant the King of _France_. The rest is plain.

XV.

French.

En navigant Captif prins grand pontife,
Grand apres faillir les clercs tumultuez,
Second esleu absent son bien debife,
Son favory Bastard a mort tué.

English.

In Sailing a Pope shall be taken Captive;
After which, shall be a great uproar amongst the Clergy,
A second absent elected, consumeth his goods,
His favourite Bastard shall be killed.

ANNOT.

These Verses signifie no more, but that a Pope going by water, shall be taken Prisoner, for which, all the Clergy shall be in disorder, and elect a new one, who shall consume his Goods, and shall have a favourite Bastard, that shall be killed.
