LV.

French.

Dans le conflit le grand qui peu valoit, A son dernier fera cas merveilleux, Pendant qu’_Adrie_ verra ce qu’il failloit, Dans le Banquet poignarde l’orgueilleux.

English.

In the fight the great one who was but little worth, At his last endeavour shall do a wonderful thing. While _Adria_ shall see what was wanting, In the Banquet he shall stabb the proud one.

ANNOT.

This is concerning some eminent person, who having shewed no great valour in a Battle, shall nevertheless in a Banquet be so bold as to stab a person of quality, that was proud.

This accident must happen somewhere about _Venice_, because he saith that _Adria_, which is taken for _Venice_ shall look on.
