LII.

French.

En Cité obsesse aux murs hommes & femmes,

Ennemis hors, le chef prest a soy rendre,

Vent sera fort encontre les gens darmes,

Chassez seront par chaux, poussiere & cendre.

English.

In a besieged City, men and women being upon the walls,

The enemies without, the Governour ready to surrender,

The Wind shall be strong against the Souldiers,

They shall be driven away by lime, dust, and ashes.

ANNOT.

This is a peculiar and remarkable accident, wherein the besiegers of a City shall be driven away from their enterprise, by Lime, Dust, and Ashes, scattered and dispersed against them by a mighty wind.
