VI.

French.

Au Roy l’_Augur_ sur le chef le main mettre, Viendra prier pour la Paix _Italique_, A la main gauche viendra changer le Sceptre, De Roy viendra Empereur pacifique.

English.

The _Augur_ shall come to put his hand upon the Kings head, And pray for the Peace of _Italy_, In the left hand he shall change the Scepter, Of a King he shall become a peaceful Emperour.

ANNOT.

Although the _Augur_ in Latine signifieth one that telleth events of matters by the flying voices, or sitting of Birds, yet it is taken also (as here) for a Prelat or Clergyman, who shall put his hand upon a Kings head, and pray for the peace of _Italy_, and shall put a Scepter in his hand, and install him Emperour, what King this should be, is easie to be conjectured by the Author, being a _French-man_, and setting down a King without any Epithite, and this Prophecy is a confirmation of one before of the same nature.
