XXII.

French.

Avant qu’a _Rome_ grand aye rendu l’Ame, Effrayeur grande a l’Armée estrangere, Par escadrons l’embusche pres de _Parme_. Puis les deux rouges ensemble feront chere.

English.

Before that a great man yeildeth up his Soul at _Rome_, The Army of strangers shall be put into a great fright, By Squadrons the ambush shall be near _Parma_. After that, the two red ones shall make good cheer together.

ANNOT.

Here is nothing difficult, but what he meaneth by the two red ones, for my part I suppose them to be two Cardinals.
