Quatrain 3.37* Capture of Milan

Auant l'assaut oraison prononcee,

Milan prins d'Aigle par embusches deceus:

Muraille antique par canons enfoncee,

Par feu & sang a mercy peu receus.

The speech delivered before the attack,

Milan taken by the Eagle through deceptive ambushes:

Ancient wall driven in by cannons,

Through fire and blood few given quarter.

Perhaps this is a prophecy about the capture of Milan by Napoleon I in 1796. Before the assault, a speech was delivered in which he promised the soldiers enrichment. Indeed, due to the robbery of the occupied territories, he clothed and fed the army. Eagle, presumably, an image on the flag or the coat of arms of one of the belligerents.

Linkage with other quatrains: 2.99.

The 3 line. Milan had ancient defensive fortifications. Napoleon I, of course, used artillery during the assault.

Decoding of the number 3.37. If 7 to consider as 700, then 700-33=667. 6 flip in 9, 1 and 7 are put at the ahead we will get 1796 – the year of capture.
