LXVIII.

French.

Peuple sans Chef d’Espagne & d’Italie,

Morts, profligez dedans le Cheronese,

Leur dict trahy par legere folie,

Le sang nager per tout a la traverse.

English.

A people of Spain and Italy without a Head,

Shall die, being overcome in the Cheronese,

Their saying shall be betrayed by a light folly,

The blood shall swim all over at random.

ANNOT.

Cheronese is a Land or ground unmanured; the rest is plain.
