Mis Tresor Temple, Citadins Hesperiques,

Dans iceluy retire en secret lieu,

Le Temple ouvrir, les liens fameliques,

Repris, ravis proye horrible au milieu.

English.

A Treasure put in a Temple by Hesperian Citizens,

In the same hid in a secret place,

The hungry bonds shall cause the Temple to be open,

And take again and ravish, a fearful prey in the middle.

ANNOT.

This is concerning a Treasure hid by Spaniards (called here Hesperian Citizens) in a Church, which the people of a Town being poor, and almost starved, caused to be open, and did ransack it, but in the middle of it they found a strange prey, but what it was God knows.
