French.

L’Arbre qu’estoit par long temps mort seiché,

Dans une nuit viendra a reverdir,

Son Roy malade, Prince pied attaché,

Craint d’ennemis fera Voiles bondir.

English.

The Tree that had been long dead and withered,

In one night shall grow green again,

His King shall be sick, his Prince shall have his foot tied,

Being feared by his enemies, he shall make his Sails to rebound.

ANNOT.

The two first Verses are Metaphorical, and are to be understood of a considerable person, who having been for a long time despised and under a cloud, shall on a sudden rise again and be in repute. The two last Verses are intelligible enough.
