II.

French.

La teste glue sera la teste blanche, Autant de mal que _France_ a fait leur bien, Mort a l’_Anthene_, grand pendu fus la branche, Quand prins des siens, le Roy dira combien.

English.

The Glue-head shall do the white head As much harm, as _France_ hath done it good, Dead at the Sails yard, a great one hang’d on a Tree, When a King taken by his own, shall say, how much?

ANNOT.

I did never find that word of Glue-head before in any Author, and I believe if _Cotgrave_ were alive again, it would puzzle him to give the interpretation thereof.

The third and fourth signifie, that one shall be hanged on the Sails-yard, and another on a Tree, when a King shall be taken by his own Men, and shall say how much? that is, how much money shall I give you to set me free.
