French.

Au Lac Fucin de Benacle Rivage,

Pres du Leman au port de Lorguion,

Nay de trois Bras prædit Bellique Image,

Par trois courones au grand Endymion.

English.

At the Fucin Lake of the Benacle Shore,

Near the Leman, at the Port of Lorguion,

Born with three Arms, a Warlike Image,

By three Crowns to the great Endimion.

ANNOT.

There is a Lake in Italy called Lacus Fucinius; the Lake of Geneva is called Lacus Lemanus; the meaning then of this obscure Stanza, is, (if I understand any thing) that a Monster shall be born with three Arms, near one of those Lakes, which shall be a sign of great Wars: what he meaneth by the three Crowns to the great Endymion, is unknown to me.
