III.

French.

Au fort Chasteau de Vigilanne & Resviers,

Sera serré les puisnay de Nancy,

Dedans Turin seront ards les premiers,

Lors que de dueil Lyon sera transy.

English.

In the strong Castle of Vigilanne and Resviers,

Shall be kept close the youngest son of Nancy,

Within Turin the first shall be burnt up,

When Lyon shall be overwhelmed with sorrow.

ANNOT.

Vigilanne and Resviere being falsly writen here, it must be set down Veillane and Riuiere, which are two strong Castles, the first being seated in Piemont, and the last in Burgundy.

Nancy is the chief Town of Lorrain, and Turin of Piemont, Lyon is a famous City in France, so that the sense of this Prophecy seemeth to be, that the youngest Son of Nancy, (that is of Lorrain) shall be kept close Prisoner in those two Castles of Veillane and Riuiera, and that the chief men of Turin shall be burnt, when the City of Lyon shall be oppressed with sorrow.
