French.

De l’Aquatique triplicity naistra,

Un qui fera le Jeudy pour sa feste,

Son Bruit, Loz, Regne & puissance croistra,

Par Terre & Mer, aux Orients tempeste.

English.

From the Aquatick triplicity shall be born,

One that shall make Thursday his Holiday,

His Fame, Praise, Reign, and Power shall grow,

By Land and Sea, and a Tempest to the East.

ANNOT.

The meaning is, that at that time, as such conjunction of Planets shall be, which he calleth here Aquatick triplicity, there shall be born upon a Thursday a famous man, such as he describeth here, who shall be a foe and a terrour to the Turks, signified here by the Orients.
