Chapter LXXV: French

Text size

Tant attendu ne reviendra jamais,
Dedans l’_Europe_, en _Asia_ apparoistra,
Un de la ligne yssu du grand _Hermes_,
Et sur tous Rois de Orient croistra.

English.

So long expected shall never come
Into _Europe_, in _Asia_ shall appear,
One come forth of the line of the great _Hermes_,
And shall grow above all the Kings in the East.

ANNOT.

All is plain, but only this, whether he taketh _Hermes_ as a King of _Ægypt_, or as the Father of the Hermetick Philosophers.
