Au fort Chasteau de _Vigilanne_ & _Resviers_,
Sera serré les puisnay de _Nancy_,
Dedans _Turin_ seront ards les premiers,
Lors que de dueil _Lyon_ sera transy.

English.

In the strong Castle of _Vigilanne_ and _Resviers_,
Shall be kept close the youngest son of _Nancy_,
Within _Turin_ the first shall be burnt up,
When _Lyon_ shall be overwhelmed with sorrow.

ANNOT.

_Vigilanne_ and _Resviere_ being falsly writen here, it must be set down _Veillane_ and _Riuiere_, which are two strong Castles, the first being seated in _Piemont_, and the last in _Burgundy_.

_Nancy_ is the chief Town of _Lorrain_, and _Turin_ of _Piemont_, _Lyon_ is a famous City in _France_, so that the sense of this Prophecy seemeth to be, that the youngest Son of _Nancy_, (that is of _Lorrain_) shall be kept close Prisoner in those two Castles of _Veillane_ and _Riuiera_, and that the chief men of _Turin_ shall be burnt, when the City of _Lyon_ shall be oppressed with sorrow.
