XLIV.

French.

La belle Rose en la France admirée,

D’un tres-grand Prince a la fin desirée,

Six cens & dix lors naistront ses amours,

Cinq ans apres sera d’un grand blessée,

Du tract d’Amour elle sera enlassée,

Si a quinze ans du Ciel recoit secours.

English.

The faire Rose admired in France,

Shall at last be desired by a great Prince,

Six hundred and ten, then shall her love begin,

Five years after she shall be wounded,

With the love of a great one she shall be intangled,

If at five years she receiveth help from Heaven.

ANNOT.
