LVII.

French.

Au lieu de Drux un Roy reposera,

Et cherchera Loy changeant d’Anatheme,

Pendant le Ciel si tresfort Tonnera,

Portée neufve Roy tuera soy mesme.

English.

In the place of Drux a King shall rest himself,

And shall seek Law changing Anatheme,

In the mean while the Heaven shall Thunder so strongly,

That a new gate shall kill the King him self.

ANNOT.

Drux is a City in Normandy, near which Henry the IV. got a memorable victory.

It is said that in that place a King shall rest himself, and shall endeavour to change Religion, but at that time it shall Thunder and Lighten so much, that by the fall of a new gate, the King himself shall be killed.
