LXXXVII.

French.

L’An que Saturne hors de servage,

Au franc terroir sera d’eau inondé,

De sang Troien sera son mariage,

Et sera seur d’Espagnols circondé.

English.

In the year that Saturn out of slavery,

In the free Countrey shall be drowned by water,

With Troian blood his marriage shall be,

And for certain he shall be hedged about with Spaniards.

ANNOT.

By Troian blood is understood the French Nation, the meaning therefore is, that in the year that a great Inundation shall be in France, then shall a notable marriage be made, by which the French shall be hedged about, or fenced by Spaniards.
