XXXVIII.

French.

Le Roy de Blois dans Avignon regner,

Un autrefois le peuple emonopole,

Dedans le Rhosne par murs fera baigner,

Jusques a cinq, le dernier pres de Nole.

English.

The King of Blois in Avignon shall Reign

Another time the people do murmur,

He shall cause in the Rhosne to be bathed through the Walls,

As many as five, the last shall be near Nole.

ANNOT.

This foretelleth that a King of France shall take Avignon, which is a City in France belonging to the Pope. And that some of the people beginning to murmur and mutiny, he shall cause five of them to be thrown over the Walls into the Rhosne, which is a swift River that passeth by. Nole must be some place thereabouts.
