LXXIII.

French.

Au Lac _Fucin_ de _Benacle_ Rivage, Pres du _Leman_ au port de _Lorguion_, Nay de trois Bras prædit Bellique Image, Par trois courones au grand _Endymion_.

English.

At the _Fucin_ Lake of the _Benacle_ Shore, Near the _Leman_, at the Port of _Lorguion_, Born with three Arms, a Warlike Image, By three Crowns to the great _Endimion_.

ANNOT.

There is a Lake in _Italy_ called _Lacus Fucinius_; the Lake of _Geneva_ is called _Lacus Lemanus_; the meaning then of this obscure Stanza, is, (if I understand any thing) that a Monster shall be _born with three Arms_, near one of those Lakes, which shall be a sign of great Wars: what he meaneth by the _three Crowns to the great Endymion_, is unknown to me.
