LIV.

French.

Par gent estrange & Nation lointaine,

Leur grand Cité, apres eau fort troublée,

Fille sans trop different de domaine,

Prins chef, serreure, navoir esté riblée.

English.

By a strange people and remote Nation,

The great City near the water shall be much troubled,

The Girl without great difference for a portion,

Shall take the Captain, the Lock having not been pickt.

ANNOT.

In the explication of this mystical Stanza, I believe every body may be as wise as I.
