LXIII.

French.

Gaulois, Ausone bien peu subiuguera,

Pau, Marne & Seine fera Perme l’Vrie,

Qui le grand Mur contre eux dressera,

Du moindre au Mur le grand perdra la vie.

English.

The French shall a little subdue Ausonne,

Pau, Marne, and Seine shall make Perme l’Urie,

Which shall raise a great Wall against them,

From the less to the Wall the great one shall loose his life.

ANNOT.

Ausonne is always taken by the Author for the City of Bordeaux, because Ausonius a famous Latine Poet was born there, the rest is so obscure, and the text so corrupted, that I had rather leave it to the liberty of the Reader, then to become ridiculous, by not acknowledging my ignorance.
