French.

_Ennosigee_ feu du Centre de Terre Fera trembler autour de Cité Neuve, Deux grands Rochers long temps feront la guerre, Puis _Arethuse_ rougira nouveau fleuve.

English.

_Ennosigee_, fire of the Center of the Earth, Shall make quake about the New City, Two great Rocks shall a great while War one against the other, After that, _Arethusa_ shall colour red a new River.

ANNOT.

_Ennosigee_ is a Greek word εννοσίγαιος, in Latin _Terræ quassator_, from ἔνίω _moveo_, and γαῖα _Terra_, and is an Epithete of _Neptune_. The meaning then of this Stanza is, that the Sea shall make the Earth quake, and fire come out of the Earth about _Naples_, which in Greek is called _Neapolis_, that is, a _New City_.

_Arethusa_ is a Fountain in _Sicily_, which a little way from its Spring, groweth into a River. The rest is left to the interpretation of the Reader.

French.

Le Divin mal surprendra un grand Prince, Un peu devant aura femme espousée, Son appuy & credit a un coup viendra mince, Conseil mourra pour la teste rasée.

English.

The Divine sickness shall surprise a great Prince, A little while after he hath married a woman, His support and credit shall at once become slender, Council shall die for the shaven head.

ANNOT.

By the Divine sickness, he meaneth the _falling sickness_, called by the Greeks _Epilepsia_, and by the Latines _Morbus Sacer_. By the shaven head, he meaneth some Ecclesiastical person of the _Romish_ Religion; the construction of the whole is easie.
