La Cité antique d’Antenorée forge,

Plus ne pouvant le Tyran supporter,

Le manche feint au Temple couper gorge,

Les siens le peuple a mort viendra bouter.

The ancient City founded by Antenor,

Being not able to bear the Tyrant any longer,

With a fained haft, in the Church cut a throat,

The people will come to put his servants to death.

The City founded by Antenor (who was Companion and came into Italy with Æneas) is Padua, a University of the Venetians, of which it is said here, that being no longer able to bear a Tyrant, the said Tyrant shall be murdered in the Church with a knife hidden in a haft, and all his Men and Servants killed by the people of the Town.
