III.

French.

Le Successeur de la Duché viendra, Beaucoup plus outre que la Mer de _Toscane_, _Gauloise_ branche la _Florence_ tiendra, Dans son Giron d’accord nautique Rane.

English.

The Successor to the Dukedom shall come, Far beyond the _Tuscane_ Sea, A _French_ branch shall hold _Florence_ In its Lap, to which the Sea-frog shall agree.

ANNOT.

By the two first Verses is meant a lawful Successor to the Duke of _Tuscany_ who shall come to recover the said Dukedom, which shall then be in the possession of the _French_.

It is hard to guess what he means by the Sea-frog, unless it be some considerable Prince at Sea, which shall then be in League with the _French_.
