LXXV.

French.

Le Pere & fils seront meurtris ensemble,

Le Prefecteur dedans son Pavillon,

La Mere a Tours du fils ventre aura enfle,

Cache verdure de fueilles papillon.

English.

The Father and Son shall be murdered together,

The Governour shall be so in his Tent,

At Tours the Mother shall be got with child by her son,

Hide the greenness with leaves Butter-flye.

ANNOT.

There is nothing hard here but the last Verse, whereby it is signified, that after such an incest of the Mother with the Son in the City of Tours (which is a Town in France) the fruit of it shall be secretly buryed, and green Turfs laid upon the place, and Leaves upon them, to take away the knowledge of it.
