Fera timides sortir de leurs Galeres,

Sortis meurdris chef renieux de Cresme,

Puis par l’Embusche luy rendront les salaires.

The Commander of a Fleet by fraud and stratagem,

Shall cause the fearful ones to come forth of their Galleys,

Come out murdered, chief renouncer of Baptism,

After that by an Ambuscado they’l give him again his salary.

ANNOT.

The two first Verses are plain, the third signifieth, that these fearful ones being come out of their Galleys, part of them shall be murdered, and among them the Captain, a renouncer of his Baptism, or Renegado, and the rest afterwards by an Ambuscado, shall requite in the same Coin those that had used them so.
