Le grand Prelat Celtique a Roy suspect,

De nuict par cours sortira hors du Regne,

Par Duc fertile a son grand Roy Bretagne,

Bisance a Cypres, & Tunis insuspect.

The great Celtique Prelate suspected by his King,

Shall in hast by night go out of the Kingdom

By the means of a Duke the fruitful Britanie,

Bisance by Cyprus, and Tunis shall be unsuspected.

ANNOT.

The great Celtique Prelate, was the Cardinal of Lorrain, Brother to the Duke of Guizse, who being suspected by the King, went away by night to Rome.

By fruitfull Brittain, is understood the province of that name in France, which by the means of the Duke of Mercure, her Governour shall be unsuspected by the King.
