V.

French.

Tiers doigt du pied au premier semblera,

A un nouveau Monarque de bas haut,

Qui Pise & Luiques tyran occupera,

Du precedent corriger le defaut.

English.

The third toe of the foot shall be like the first,

To a new high Monarch come from low estate,

Who being a Tyrant shall cease upon Pise and Luica,

To correct the faults of him that preceded him.

ANNOT.

The meaning of this is, that some body pretending to mend the Government of those two places that are in Italy, shall tyrannically make himself Master of them.
