V.

French.

Plusieurs secours viendront de tous costez,

De gens lointains qui voudront resister,

Ils seront tout a coup bien hastez,

Mais ne pourront pour cette heure assister.

English.

Many helps shall come on all sides,

Of people far off, that would fain to resist,

They shall be upon a sudden all very hasty,

But for the present they shall not be able to assist.

ANNOT.

This seemeth to point at this present conjuncture of affairs, where there is so many buisying themselves about the relief of Flanders, of which I see no great likelihood.
