XLV.

French.

Ne sera soul jamais de demander,

Grand Mendosus obtiendra son Empire,

Loing de la Cour fera contremander,

Piemont, Picard, Paris, Tyrhen le pire.

English.

He shall never be weary of asking,

Great Mendosus shall obtain his dominion,

Far from the Court he shall cause him to be countermanded,

Piemont, Picardy, Paris, Tyrhen the worse.

ANNOT.

By Mendosus, is Anagrammatically to be understood Vendosme; but who is that shall never be weary of asking, or whose Dominion Vendosme shall have, or what is meant by the last two Verses, passeth my understanding.
