LXXXV.

French.

Le vieux plein barbe soubs le statut severe, A Lion fait dessus l’Aigle Celtique, Le petit grand trop outre persevere, Bruit d’Arme au Ciel, Mer rouge _Ligustique_.

English.

The old plain beard under the severe Statute, Made at _Lion_ upon the _Celtique_ Aigle, The little great persevereth too far, Noise of Arms in the Skie, the _Ligustrian_ Sea made red.

ANNOT.

I could scrape no sense out of the first three Verses; the last signifieth, that a noise of Arms shall be heard in the Skies, and that the _Ligustrian_ Sea, which is that of _Genoa_, shall be made red with blood, when the former prodigy hath appeared.
