XCII.

French.

Le monde proche du dernier periode, _Saturn_ encor sera tard de retour, Translat Empire devers Nations brode, L’œil arraché a _Narbon_ par Autour.

English.

The world being near its last period, _Saturn_ shall come yet late to his return, The Empire shall be translated into _brode_ Nations, _Narbon_ shall have her eye pickt out by a Hawk.

ANNOT.

The meaning of the first and second Verses is, that the world shall be at an end, before _Saturn_ hath performed his whole course, which (if I do not mistake) is thought by the Astronomers to be of 36000. years.

The third Verse signifieth, that before the end of the world, the Empire shall be translated or possessed by a black Nation, for _brode_ in old _French_ signifieth black, whence it cometh that to this day they call a handsom black woman, _une belle Brode_, that is a fair black woman.

_Narbon_ is a famous City in _Languedoc_, and the seat of an Archbishop.
