XV.

French.

Cœur, vigueur, gloire, le Regne changera,

De tous points contre, ayant son adversaire,

Lors France enfance par mort subjuguera,

Un grand Regent sera lors plus contraire.

English.

Heart, vigour, and glory shall change the Kingdom,

In all points, having an adversary against it,

Then shall France overcome Childhood by death,

A great Regent shall then be more adversary to it.

ANNOT.

The two first Verses seem to have foretold of the late Tyrant Cromwel.

The two last Verses may be applied to France, when the Infant of Spain Don Balthazar died, &c.
