Chapter LXXVIII: French

Text size

Subite joye en subite tristesse,
Sera a _Rome_ aux graces embrassées,
Dueil, cris, pleurs, larm, sang, excellent liesse,
Contraires bandes surprises & troulsées.

English.

Sudden joy shall turn into a sudden sadness,
At _Rome_ to the embraced graces,
Mourning, cries, weeping, tears, blood, excellent joy,
Contrary Troops surprized and carryed away.

ANNOT.

There is nothing difficult here, but what he meaneth by _Embraced graces_, for my part I believe them some new married Couples, who in the middle of their jollity shall fall into these disasters.
