LXXXI.

French.

LeRoy rusé entendra ses Embusches,

De trois quartiers Ennemis assaillir,

Un nombre estrange Larmes de coqueluches,

Viendra Lamprin du traducteur faillir.

English.

The crafty King shall hear of his Ambuscadoes,

And shall assail his Enemies on three sides,

A strange number of Friers, mens Tears,

Shall cause Lamprin to desert the Traitor.

ANNOT.

The only difficulty here is to know who that Lamprin should be, who shall be diverted from following a Traitor (which he meaneth here by the French word Traducteur) and shall be diverted from it by the Tears of Fryers, which are meant here by the ancient French word Coqueluches, which signifieth a Fryers Cool or Capuchon.
