LX.

French.

Par teste rase viendra bien mal eslire,

Plus que sa charge ne porte passera,

Si grand fureur & rage fera dire,

Qua feu & sang tout Sexe tranchera.

English.

By a shaven head shall be made an ill choice,

That shall go beyond his commission,

He shall proceed with so great fury and rage,

That he shall put both Sexes to fire and Sword.

ANNOT.

By a shaven head must be understood a Priest of the Romish Religion; because they all have their heads shaven.
