French.

Par la Forest du Touphon essartée

Par Hermitage sera posé le Temple,

Le Duc d’Estampes par sa ruse inventée,

Du Montlehery Prelat donra exemple.

English.

By the Forrest Touphon cut off,

By the Hermitage shall the Temple be set,

The Duke of Estampes by his invented trick,

Shall give example to the Prelat of Montlehery.

ANNOT.

Here is a fault in the Impression, for instead of Touphon, it must be written Torfou, which is a Forrest some 30 Miles from Paris towards Beausse, near which is seated the Town of Montlehery, in the said Forrest is seated an Hermitage, and not far from thence the City of Estampes, which carryeth the Title of Dutchy; so that the sense of it is this, that this Forrest being cut off (as it is now for the most part) in the place where that Hermitage was, shall be built a Church or Convent, as it is now Cælestins friars, called Marcoussy, and that the said Hermitage shall be taken from the jurisdiction of the Town of Montlehery, under which it was before.
