VII.

French.

Du Triumuir seront trouvez les os,

Cherchant profond Thresor ænigmatique,

Ceux d’alentour ne seront en repos,

Ce concaver Marbre & plomb Metallique.

English.

The bones of the Triumuir shall be found out,

When they shall seek for a deep and ænigmatical Treasure,

Those there about shall not be in rest,

This concavity shall be Marble and Metallick Lead.

ANNOT.

I suppose none so ignorant in the Roman History, but knows, that there was a combination between Octavius Cæsar, Marcus Antonius, and Lepidus, to make themselves Masters of the Roman Empire, and to divide it amongst themselves, this plot being made by three, was made by the Triumuiri, the meaning then is, that when they shall go to seek for a Treasure, they shall find the bones of one of those three persons, and in that cavity that they shall have digged, they shall find Marble and Lead.
