XLI.

French.

Bossu sera esleu par le Conseil,

Plus hideux Monstre en Terre napperceu,

Le coup volant luy crevera un œil,

Le traistre au Roy pour fidele receu.

English.

Crook-back shall be chosen by the Councel,

A more hideous Monster I never saw upon Earth.

The flying blow shall put out one of his eyes,

The Traitor to the King, shall be admited as faithful.

ANNOT.

This needs no explication.
