French.

Puanteur grande sortira de Lausane,

Qu’on ne scaura l’origine du fait,

L’on mettra hors toute la gent loingtaine,

Feu veu au Ciel peuple estranger deffait.

English.

A great stink shall come forth out of Lausane,

So that no body shall know the ofspring of it,

They shall put out all the Forreiners,

Fire seen in Heaven, a strange people defeated.

ANNOT.

Lausane is a City situated in Savoy, by the Lake of Geneva, but now as I take it in the possession of the Switzers.
