La Meuse au jour Terre de Luxembourg,

Descouvrira Saturne & trois en Lurne,

Montaigne & plaine, Ville, Cité & Bourg,

Lorrain Deluge, trahison par grand hurne.

English.

The Maes by day in the Land of Luxembourg,

Shall discover Saturn, and three in the Lurne,

Mountain and plain, Town, City, and Countrey Town,

A Lorrain flood, treason by a great hurne.

ANNOT.

The Maes is a River that runneth through a part of Lorrain and Luxembourg; as for the words Lurne and hurne I do not understand them, neither do I think they are to be found in all the French Language, both obsolete and modern; all what I can gather out of this, is, that a great overflowing of the River Maes, shall be both in Luxembourg and Lorrain, insomuch that three Leaden Mines (which is meant here by Saturn) shall be discovered, and after that, a great Treason shall happen in the said Lorrain.
