Je pleure Nice, Monaco, Pise, Genes,

Savone, Sienne, Capoue, Modene, Malthe,

I bewail Nice, Monaco, Pisa, Genoa,

Savona, Sienna, Capoua, Modena, Maltha,

Upon them blood and sword for a new years-gift,

Fire, Earth-quake, water, unhappy nolte.

ANNOT.

All these Cities are situated by the Mediterranean Sea, and most of them upon that part of it, which is called the River of Genoa, and are threatned here by all the plagues above mentioned; as for the word nolte it is a barbarous one, forced here to make up the Rime in French.
