LXXXVI.

French.

Le grand Prelat un jour apres son songe,

Interprete au rebours de son sens,

De la Gascogne luy surviendra un Monge,

Qui fera eslire le grand Prelat de Sens.

English.

The great Prelate the next day after his dream,

Interpreted contrary to his sense,

From Gascony shall come to him a Monge,

That shall cause the great Prelate of Sens to be elected.

ANNOT.

Monge is a Barbarous word, that hath no relation to any Language in the world, (that I know) unless it signifies a Monk. Sens is a fine City, about threescore Miles beyond Paris, towards the South, and the Seat of an Arch-Bishop, who it seemeth shall be elected into some eminent place, the next day after he that was in it shall dream a dream, that shall be interpreted contrary to the sense and meaning of it.
