French.

Saturne & Mars en Leo Espagne captifue,

Par chef Lybique au conflict attrapé,

Proche de Malte, Herede Prinse vive,

Et Romain Sceptre sera par Coq frappé.

English.

Saturn and Mars being in Leo, Spain shall be captive,

By a Lybian General taken in the Battle,

Near Malta, an Heirse shall be taken alive,

And the Roman Scepter shall be strucken by the Cock.

ANNOT.

By the Cock is meant the King of France. The rest is plain.
