LXXIV.

French.

De sang Trojen naistra cœur Germanique,

Qui deviendra en si haute puissance,

Hors chassera gent estrange Arabique,

Tournant l’Eglise en pristine préeminence.

English.

Of Trojan blood shall be born a German heart,

Who shall attain to so high a power,

That he shall drive away the strange Arrabian Nation,

Restoring the Church to her former splendor.

ANNOT.

It seemeth to signifie, that by Alliance made between a German Emperour, and a Daughter of France, which derive their Pedigree from the Trojans, a Prince shall be born of so stout and valiant a heart, as shall drive away all the Turkish power out of Germany, and shall restore the Church to her former splendor.
