LXIX.

French.

Grand exercite conduit par jouvenceau, Se viendra rendre aux mains des ennemis, Mais le vieillard nay au demy pourceau, Fera _Chalon_ & _Mascon_ estre amis.

English.

A great Army led by a young man, Shall yield it self in the hands of the enemies, But the old man born at the sign of the halfe-Hog, Shall cause _Chalon_ and _Mascon_ to be friends.

ANNOT.

The two first Verses are plain; as for the third Verse, I could not find who that _Old man_ should be, that shall be born at the sign of the _half-Hog_.

_Chalon_ and _Mascon_ are two Cities in _France_, the first in _Champagne_, the last in _Burgundy_.
