XII.

French.

Yeux clos ouverts d’antique fantaisie,

L’habit des seuls sera mis a neant,

Le grand Monarque chastiera leur frenesie,

Ravir des Temples le Thresor par devant.

English.

Eyes shut, shall be open by an antick fancy,

The cloths of the alone shall be brought to nothing.

The great Monarck shall punish their frenzy,

For having ravished the Treasure of the Temple before.

ANNOT.

I can fasten this upon no body, but upon some Monks, which are called here The alone, because of their solitary life, who shall be punished by a King, for having robbed the Church.
