French.

De l’Aquilon les efforts seront grands,

Sur l’Occean sera la Porte ouverte,

Le Regne en l’Isle sera re-integrand,

Tremblera Londres par voiles descouvertes.

English.

The endevours of the North shall be great,

Upon the Ocean the gate shall be open,

The Kingdom in the Island shall be re-established,

London shall quake, for fear of Sails discovered.

ANNOT.

This is a very remarkable one, which hath been fulfilled since the happy restauration of his sacred Majesty King Charles II. now Reigning: For the endevours of the North, (viz. the Dutch) have been very great. The ocean; like a gate, hath been open to all kind of Armies, to play their pranks upon. His Majesty, and Kingdom, have been happily restored.
