LXXXVI.

French.

Un chef d’Ausonne aux Espagnes ira,

Par Mer, sera arrest dedans Marseilles,

Avant sa mort un long temps languira,

Apres sa mort on verra grand merveille.

English.

A chief man of Ausone shall go into Spain

By Sea, he shall stay at Marseilles,

He shall languish a great while before his death,

After his death great wonders shall be seen.

ANNOT.

Here is nothing obscure but the word Ausone, by which is meant the City of Bordeaux, so named by the Author every where, for having brought forth that famous Latine Poet, and Counsul of Rome, Ausonius.
