French.

Istra du Mont Gaulsier & Aventine,

Qui par le trou advertira l’Armée,

Entre deux Rocs sera prins le butin,

De Sext. Mansol faillir la renommée.

English.

One shall go out of the Mountains Gaulsier and Aventine,

Who through a hole shall give notice to the Army,

Between two Rocks the booty shall be taken,

Of Sext. Mansol shall loose his renown.

ANNOT.

The Mountains of Gaulsier and Aventine are two of the seven Mountains of Rome, out of which, it seems, one shall go out to give notice to the Army without, and the Booty of the Pope, called Sextus, shall be taken.

But what he meaneth by Mansol, I am ignorant.
