LXXV.

French.

Prest a combattre fera defection,

Chef adversaire obtiendra la victoire,

Larriere garde fera defension,

Les defaillans morts au blanc terretoire.

English.

One being ready to fight, shall faint,

The chief of the adverse party shall obtain the victory,

The rearegard, shall withstand it out,

Those that fall away shall die in the white Terretory.

ANNOT.

There is nothing difficult here, but what he meaneth by the white Terretory, whether it be positive, or Allegorical, I leave the judgement of it to the Reader.
