XCIII.

French.

Dans _Avignon_ tout le Chef de l’Empire, Fera arrest, pour _Paris_ desole, _Tricast_ tiendra l’_Annibalique_ ire, _Lion_ par change sera mal consolé.

English.

In _Avignon_ all the Chief of the Empire, Shall stay, by reason of _Paris_ being desolate, _Tricast_ shall stop the _Annibalik_ anger, _Lion_ by change shall be ill comforted.

ANNOT.

The first and second Verse signifie, that the Pope once more shall keep his seat in _Avignon_, which is a Town in _France_ belonging to the Pope, and where formerly they kept their See, for the space of above an hundred years. As for the word _Tricast_, there must be a foul errour in the impression or else; I must confess I understand it not. By the _Annibilik_ anger, is meant those of _Barbary_, where _Annibal_ was born. _Lion_ is a famous Town in _France_, where is kept the greatest trading for Bills of Exchange.
