Chapter XCIV: French

Text size

De _Nismes_, d’_Arles_, & _Vienne_ contemner,
Nobeyront a ledict _Hesperique_,
Au _Labouriez_ pour le grand condamner,
Six eschapez en habit _Seraphique_.

English.

From _Nismes_, d’_Arles_ and _Vienna_ contempt,
They shall not obey the _Spanish_ Proclamation,
To the _Labouriez_ for to condemn the great one,
Six escaped in a _Seraphical_ habit.

ANNOT.

It seemeth that those three aforenamed Towns will refuse to obey a _Spanish_ Proclamation, that would compel them to condemn a great man; as for _Labouriez_ it is a barbarous and non-sensical word.

The last Verse signifieth, that six shall escape, cloathed in _Franciscan_ habits, called here _Seraphical_, because the Franciscans believe that a _Seraphin_ did appear to St. _Francis_ their Patron, from whence their Order is called by many the _Seraphical_ Order.
