Dans les _Espagnes_ viendra Roy trespuissant,
Par Mer & Terre subjugant au Midy,
Ce mal sera rabaissant le croissant,
Baisser les aisles a ceux de _Vendredy_.

English.

A most potent King shall come into _Spain_,
Who by Sea and Land shall make great Conquests towards the South,
This evil shall beat down the horns of the new Moon,
And slack the Wings of those of _Friday_.

ANNOT.

_A great and potent King shall come out of ~Spain~, who by Sea and Land shall make great Conquest towards the South_, that is _Barbary_, which shall be a great prejudice to the _Turkish_ Empire, who hath for his Arms a new Moon; _And slack the wings of those of ~Friday~_, that is, of the Turks, because they keep the _Friday_ for their _Sabbath_. This Prophecy was fulfilled by _Philip_ the II. King of _Spain_, who drove away all the _Moores_ out of the South part of it, and took a great many places in the Coasts of _Barbary_.
