D’Arras & Bourges de Brodes grands enseignes,

Un plus grand nombre de Gascons battre a pied,

Ceux long du Rhosne saigneront les Espagnes,

Proche du Mont ou Sagunte sassied.

From Arras and Bourges many colours of black men shall come,

A greater number of Gascons shall go on foot,

Those along the Rhosne shall let Spain blood,

Near the Mountain where Saguntus is seated.

ANNOT.

Arras and Bourges are Cities of France. As for brodes, we have said before that it signifie brown men, such as are the Gascoins, inhabiting the Province of Aquitania near Spain.
