XLII.

French.

L’Enfant naistra a deux dents en la gorge,

Purres en Tuscie par pluie tomberont,

peu d’ans apres ne sera Bled ny Orge,

pour saouler ceux qui de faim failleront.

English.

A Child shall be born with two Teeth in his mouth.

It shall rain stones in Tuscany,

A few years after there shall be neither Wheat nor Barley

To feed those that shall faint for hunger.

ANNOT.

Those two Prodigies mentioned in the two first Verses, do presage a great Famine that shall ensue a few years after.
