LXX.

French.

L’œil par objet fera telle excroissance,

Tant & ardente que tombera la Neige,

Champ arrousé viendra en decroissance,

Que le Primat succombera a Rhege.

English.

The eye by the object shall make such an excressency,

Because so much, and so burning shall fall the Snow,

The Field watered shall come to decay

Insomuch that the Primat shall fall down at Rhege.

ANNOT.

All this is nothing but an extraordinary great Snow that shall fall about Rhegio a City of Italy, whereby the Fields shall be drowned and fall to decay; insomuch, that the chief men, called here Primate shall fall to poverty.
