XCVII.

French.

_Romain Pontife_ garde de taprocher, De la Cité que deux fleuves arrouse, Ton sang viendras aupres de la cracher, Toy & les tiens quand fleurira la Rose.

English.

_Roman Pontife_ take heed to come near, To the City watered with two Rivers, Thou shall spit there thy blood, Thou and thine, when the Rose shall blossom.

ANNOT.

Although there may be many Cities watered with two Rivers, yet I know none more famous than _Lions_ in _France_, where two famous Rivers, the _Rhosne_ and the _Saone_ meet together, and I believe this is the place that our Author forewarneth the _Pope_ to come to, for fear of his death, and that of his attendants.
