English.

Two great ones of _Mende_, of _Rhodez_ and _Milliaud_, _Cahors_, _Limoges_, _Castres_ an evil week, By night the entry shall be from _Bourdeaux_ one cailhau, Through _Perigort_ at the ringing of the Bell.

ANNOT.

This Stanza is half _French_ and half _Provencal_ language.

All the Cities named here, _Mende_, _Rhodez_, _Milliaud_, _Cahors_, _Limoges_, _Castres_, _Bourdeaux_, _Perigort_, are Cities of _France_, bordering upon _Provence_, which is the Countrey wherein our Author was born.

The meaning of it is, that all those Cities shall rise against the Collectors of the Kings Taxes, and shall set upon them by the sound of the Bell, which is already come to pass, and may come to pass yet.
