XXVI.

French.

Le grand du Foudre tombe d’heure diurne,

Mal & predit par Porteur populaire,

Suivant presage tombe d’heure nocturne,

Conflit Rheims, Londres, Etrusque Pestifere.

English.

The great Man falleth by the Lightning in the day time,

An evil foretold by a common Porter;

According to this foretelling another falleth in the night,

A fight at Rhemes, and the Plague at London and Tuscany.

ANNOT.

This is concerning some great man, who being premonished by a common Carrier not to travel upon a certain day, did slight the advice, and was strucken by Lightning in the day time, and another in the night; at the same time there was a fight at Rhemes, and the Plague at London and in Tuscany, which in Latin is called Etruria.
