XXVII.

French.

Par feu & armes non loin de la Mar negro, Viendra de _Perse_ occuper _Trebisonde_, Trembler _Pharos_, _Metelin_, Sol alegro, De sang _Arabe_ d’_Adrie_ couvert l’Onde.

English.

By Fire and Sword not far from the black Sea, They shall come from _Persia_ to seize upon _Trebisonde_, _Pharos_ and _Methelin_ shall quake, Sun be merry, The Sea of _Adria_ shall be covered with _Arabian_ blood.

ANNOT.

This Prophecy foretelleth clearly and plainly, that the _Persians_ shall come to invade the Turkish dominions, a part of which is the Empire of _Trebisond_, and that _Pharos_ and _Methelin_ two Islands in the _Mediterranean_ Sea, shall quake for fear.

As also that the _Adriatick_ Sea, which is that Sea that belongeth to the _Venetians_ shall be covered with Turkish blood, at which the Author is so jocund, as with an exclamation he inviteth the Sun to be merry, and rejoyce at it.
