This is a Prognostication concerning a King of France, meant here by the great Cheiren Selin, who under pretence of a Treaty of Marriage, shall recover in his journey these two Towns Saint Quintin and Arras, for the Shambles are called in Latine Macellum. Quod ibi mactentur pectora quæ mercatoribus venundantur.

Entre deux Fleuves se verra enserré,

Tonneaux & caques unis a passer outre,

Huit Pont rompus chef a tant enferré,

Enfans parfaits sont jugulez en coultre.

Between two Rivers he shall find himself shut up,

Tuns and Barrels put together to pass over,
