ANNOT.

This Key of the sense of this Stanza lieth in the last word _Tauropole_, which is compounded of the Latin word _Taurus_ a Bull, and of the Greek word πολέω, that is, to sell; so that the meaning of it is, that those Cities mentioned shall rise in Rebellion against the _Monopolites_, and those that shall lay a Tax upon Cattle.
