Chapter LX: French

Conflict _Barbare_ en la Cornere noire,
Sang espandu trembler la _Dalmatie_,
Grand _Ismael_ mettra son promontoire,
Ranes trembler, secours _Lusitanie_.

English.

A _Barbarian_ fight in the black Corner,
Blood shall be spilt, _Dalmatia_ shall tremble for fear,
Great _Ismael_ shall set up his promontory,
Frogs shall tremble, _Portugal_ shall bring succour.

ANNOT.

This Prophecie foretelleth divers accidents in several places, without determination of any precise time; as for example, I understand by that _Barbarian conflict, near the black Corner_, to be some famous Battle among the Infidels themselves, some where about the Black Sea; then he saith, _that abundance of Blood shall be spilt, and ~Dalmatia~ shall tremble_, which is a Province belonging to the _Venetians_, and bordering upon _Græcia_; by great _Ismael_ he understandeth the great Sophy of _Persia_, whose name hath been often so. By the Frogs it is not easie to know whether he meaneth _France_ or _Spain_, for both abound in that kind of Insects.

LXI.

French.

La pille faite a la Coste Marine,
_Incita nova_ & parens amenez,
Plusieurs de _Malthe_ par le fait de _Messine_,
Estroit serrez seront mal guerdonnez.

English.

The plunder made upon the Sea Coast,
_Incita nova_ and friends brought up,
Many of _Maltha_, for the fact of _Messina_,
Being close kept, shall be ill rewarded.

ANNOT.

It seemeth that this Plunder made upon the Sea Coast, shall be about _Messina_, by the _Maltheses_, who afterwards shall rue for it, being taken Prisoners, and severely punished.

As for the expression _Incita nova_, it is a barbarous derivation of the Latine, to signifie the stirring of new troubles.
