XCI.

French.

L’Horrible peste Perynthe & Nicopole,

Le Chersonese tiendra & Marceloine,

La Thessalie naistera l’Amphipole,

Mal incogneu & le refus d’Antoine.

English.

The horrid pestilence shall seize upon Perynthe and Nicopolis,

The Chersonese and Marceloine,

It shall waste Thessalia and Amphipolis,

An unknown evil and the refusal of Antony.

ANNOT.

There is several faults in the impression here, for instead of Perynthe, it must be Corinth. For Marceloine, it must be Macedoine: the substance of the whole is, that there shall be a great plague in all these Countries of Asia. The refusal of Antony is foisted here to make up the rime with Macedony.
