The blond one is named Ferdinand in 9v35. And in 5v45, And the bronze-bearded one (Aenobarbe) With the hawk (Milve) nose will reign. Apparently, the Duke of wellington was known affectionately by his men as 'old hooky nose'.

Thus, we might translate

The fair-blond one and forked nosed one will come to perpetuate an offence?
Through a duel, and will chase him out,
He will restore the exiles within,
And place the strongest of them on the coasts.

Or perhaps:

The blond one will come to commit an offence against the fork nosed one,
through a duel, and then chased out:
the exiles within he will restore,
sending the strongest to the marine places (ports).
