Context in Source
[edit | edit source]The full quatrain reads as follows:
French
[edit | edit source]L'oyseau de proye volant à la senestre,
Auant conflict faict aux François pareure:
L'vn bon prendra, l'vn ambique sinistre,
La partie foible tiendra par bon augure.<ref>http://cercle.nostra.online.fr/c0001_3.htm</ref>
English
[edit | edit source]The bird of prey flying to the left,
before battle is joined with the French, he makes preparations.
Some will regard him as good, others bad or uncertain.
The weaker party will regard him as a good omen.<ref>http://www.sacred-texts.com/nos/mrg/nosmrg01.htm</ref>
Comments
[edit | edit source]The difference in spelling 'semestre' / 'senestre' in the first line is probably due to the source Dunnett used according to Companion I.<ref>Elspeth Morrison, The Dorothy Dunnett Companion, 2001, p. 208</ref>
