LXI.

French.

Le vieux mocqué & privé de sa place, Par l’Estranger qui le subornera, Mais de son filz mangé devant sa face, Le Frere a _Chartres_. _Orl._ _Rouen_ trahira.

English.

The old man shall be baffled and deprived of his place, By the stranger that shall suborn him, But of his son shall be eaten before his face, The Brother at _Chartres_. _Orl._ shall betray _Rouen_.

ANNOT.

This Stanza is divided into two parts. The first part runneth from the first Verse to the middle of the fourth. The meaning is, that an old man shall be baffled and deprived of his place by a stranger that shall suborn him, but that strangers sons brother shall be eaten up before his face in the Town of _Chartres_; what he meaneth by eaten up, is hard to guess, whether it be by poverty, sutes at Law, Envy, Lice, _&c._

The Hemisthikion of the last Verse, _~Orl.~ shall betray ~Rouen~_, signifieth, that _Orleans_ shall betray _Rouen_.
