French.

Voile Gallere Voile nef Cachera,

La grand Classe viendra sortir la moindre,

Dix Naves proches le tourneront poulser,

Grand vaincüe, unies a soy joindre.

English.

The Galley and the Ship shall hide their Sails,

The great Fleet shall make the little one to come out,

Ten Ships near hand, shall turn and push at it,

The great being vanquished, they shall unite together.

ANNOT.

These are some particularities of a Sea fight between a great Fleet and a small one, wherein he saith, that some had hid their Sails, belike they were unwilling to come out of the Harbour and to fight; but he saith, that the great Fleet will compel the little one to come out; but ten great Ships will come to help the little Fleet, and after the great one hath been overcome, will joyn themselves to the little Fleet.
