XXIX.

French.

Quand le Poisson, Terrestre & Aquatique,

Par forte vague an gravier sera mis,

Sa forme estrange suave & horrifique,

Par Mer aux murs bien tost les Enemies.

English.

When the Fish that is both Terrestrial and Aquatick,

By a strong Wave shall be cast upon the Sand,

With his strange fearful sweet horrid form,

Soon after the enemies will come near to the Walls by Sea.

ANNOT.

This signifieth no more but that after, a Fish, Terrestrial and Aquatick, that is which, liveth in Land and Water, called by the Greeks αμφίβιον, shall be cast upon the Sand by a storm, then a little while after, that Town which lieth near to that place where the Fish was cast, shall be Besieged by her Enemies, who shall come by Sea.
