LXXXIV.
French.
Celuy qu’en Sparte Claude ne veut regner,
Il fera tant par voye seductive,
Que du court, long, le sera arraigner,
Que contre Roy fera sa perspective.
English.
He that Claudius will not have to reign in Sparta,
The same shall do so much by a deceitful way,
That he shall cause him to be arraigned short and long,
As if he had made his prospect upon the King.
ANNOT.
I believe the words of Claudius and Sparta here are Metaphorical, and the Author was unwilling they should be known.
The sense is, one shall be hindred from Reigning by another, whom he shall accuse of Treason against the King.
