Des lieux plus bas du Pais de Lorraine,

Seront des basses Allemagnes unis,

Par ceux du Siege Picards, Normans, du Maine,

Et aux Cantons se seront reunis.

Transcriber’s Note: An English version was omitted from this printing, but the annotation below is an accurate enough (if not very poetic) translation.

ANNOT.

The sense of this is, that the lower Lorrain and Germany being united together, shall have War with the other three Nations, of Picards, Normans, and Manceaux, which having Besieged a Town, shall constrain the Lorrainers and Low-germans, to unite themselves with the Cantons of Switzerland.
