XVII.

French.

De nuit passant le Roy pres d’une _Andronne_, Celuy de _Cipres_ & principal de guerre, Le Roy failly la main fuit long du _Rhosne_, Les conjurez liront la a mort mettre.

English.

The King going along by night near an _Andronne_, He of _Cyprus_ and chief of the War, The King having missed the hand, runneth away along by the _Rhosne_, The Conspirators shall put him to death there.

ANNOT.

I could not find what he meaneth by _Andronne_, therefore I believe it is a barbarous and forged word, which the Author hath foisted in, to make the first Verses rhime with the word _Rhosne_ in the third Verse, which is a famous River in _France_.
