CENTURIA IV · QUATRAIN LXIV
The Bankrupt Burgher
Le deffaillant en habit de bourgeois,
Viendra le Roi tempter de son offence:
Quinze souldartz la plupart Ustagois,
Vie derniere & chef de sa chevance.
The defaulting one in the garb of a burgher
Will come to tempt the King with his offence:
Fifteen soldiers, the most of them Ustagois,
Last of life and head of his fortune.
THE MASTER SAYS…
This quatrain predicts the collapse of various monetary systems as part of global problems. Countries will cease to fulfill their obligations to colonies, and individuals will cease to care about their property, trying to restore balance. He says that a number of other things are involved here. In the course of this process, various world leaders will compromise themselves, and it will be a very ambiguous time. In the process of all this, some people will be thrown from their positions, and others will come to power. One of the exiled generals will be able to gather fifteen groups of soldiers who will follow him, trying to seize the place by storm and change the situation. The quatrain is mainly connected with monetary problems. Translators did not give an explanation for it.
