XCVI.

French.

Sur le milieu du grand monde la Rose,

Pour nouveaux faits sang public espandu,

A dire uray on aura bouche close,

Lors au besoing viendra tard lattendu.

English.

The Rose shall be in the middle of the great world,

Blood shall be publickly spilt for new deeds;

To say the truth, every one shall stop his mouth,

Then at the time of need shall come long looked for.

ANNOT.

The words are plain, out of which every one may make what construction he pleaseth.
