I.

French.

Apres Combat & Bataille Navale, Le grand _Neptune_ a son plus haut beffroy, Rouge adversaire de peur de viendra pasle, Mettant le grand _Occean_ en effroy.

English.

After the fight and Sea Battle, The great _Neptune_ in his highest Steeple, The red adversary shall wax pale for fear, Putting the great _Occean_ in a fright.

ANNOT.

I find no mystical sence in this, unless by the red adversary he should understand the _Pope_, because clothed in Scarlet. Therefore I leave the explication to the judgement of every particular Reader.
