XXVIII.

French.

Le Capitaine conduira grande proye,

Sur la Montagne des ennemis plus proche,

Environné par feu fera telle voye,

Tous eschapez, or trente mis en broche.

English.

The Captain shall lead a great Prey

Upon the Mountain, that shall be nearest to the Enemies,

Being encompassed with fire, he shall make such a way,

That all shall escape, but thirty that shall be spitted.

ANNOT.

The two first Verses are plain.

The meaning of the last two is, that the said Captain being encompassed with Fire, shall make himself such a way, that all his men shall escape, but thirty that shall be spitted by the enemies.
