LXI.

French.

La Republique miserable infelice,

Sera vastée du nouveau Magistrat,

Leur grand amas de l’exil malefice,

Fera Suede ravir leur grand contract.

English.

The miserable and unhappy Common-wealth,

Shall be wafted by the new Magistrate;

Their great gathering from exiled persons,

Shall cause Swedeland to break her Contract.

ANNOT.

The two first Verses foretell what hath happened to England under the Government of a Common-wealth, and how their new Magistrate Cromwel made a havock of them. The third and fourth Verses, mention what great sums they exacted from those of the Kings party, and how for that cause Swedeland foresook their friendship.
