Les Cimbres joints avecques leurs voisins,

Depopuler viendront presque l’Espagne,

Gens ramassez, Guienne & Limosins,

Seront en ligue & leur feront Compagne.

The Cimbres joyned with their neighbours,

Shall come to depopulate almost all Spain,

People gathered from Guienna and Limosin,

Shall be in league with them, and keep them Company.

The Cimbres and Teutons were a Northern people, viz: the Swedes and Danes, who came once out of their Countrey to sack Rome, and were overcome by Marius, near the Town of Orenge, in a place where his Triumphal Arch is seen to this day. The rest is easie.
