XL.

French.

Un peu apres non point long intervalle,

Par Mer & Terre sera fait grand tumulte,

Beaucoup plus grande sera pugne Navalle,

Feu, Animaux, qui plus feront d’Insulte.

English.

A little while after, without any great distance of time,

By Sea and Land shall a great tumult be made,

The Sea fight shall be much greater,

Fire and Beasts which shall make greater insult.

ANNOT.

This hath a Relation to a foregoing Stanza, and likewise is not hard to be understood.
