VI.

French.

Charté fulgure a Lyon apparente,

Luysant, print Malte, subit sera estainte,

Sardon, Mauris traitera decevante,

Geneve a Londres, a Coq trahison feinte.

English.

A thundering light at Lyons appearing,

Bright, took Maltha, instantly shall be put out,

Sardon shall treat Mauris deceitfully,

To Geneva, London, and the Cock a fained treason.

ANNOT.

Maltha is an Island in the Mediterranean Sea, famous for the Knights that inhabit it, and take their name from thence. Sardon and Mauris are barbarous words.
