French.

Bourdeaux, Rouan & la Rochelle joints,

Tiendront autour la grand Mer Occeane,

Anglois Bretons, & les Flamans conjoints,

Les chasseront jusque aupres de Rouane.

English.

Bourdeaux, Rouan, and Rochel joyned together,

Will range about upon the great Ocean,

English Brittans, and Flemings joyned together,

Shall drive them away as far as Rouane.

ANNOT.

By mentioning Bourdeaux, Rouan, and Rochel, the Author understandeth the whole Naval forces of France, which (he saith) shall be defeated, by the English, Brittains, and Hollanders, and pursued as far as Rouane, which is a Town at the head of the River Loire, from whence it runneth down for the space of 500 Miles to Nantes, and a while after dischargeth it self into the Ocean.
