Capua, Brindisi vexed by the Celtic nation:

In the third line the invasion to the Apennine peninsula in 1943 by the Allied troops of the USA and Great Britain was predicted. The lion is depicted on the coat of arms of Great Britain, and the eagle is on the coat of arms of the USA.

The 4 line. Field marshal Ruport commanded British troops. In 1943 he was 52 years old. Rome the Germans surrendered in the summer of 1944. Linkage with other quatrains: 2.16.
