Loin de son Ciel: de mœurs & langue estrange,

Cinq mille en Crete & Thessalie finy,

Le Chef fuiant sauvé en la Marine Grange.

The Captain that shall lead an infinite deal of people

Far from their Countrey, to one of strange manners and Language,

Five thousand in Candia and Thessalia finished,

The Head running away, shall be safe in a Barn by the Sea.

It is some great Commander that shall lead a multitude of people into a strange Countrey, far from their own; suppose Candia and Thessalia, where the said Commander shall be compelled to run away, and to save himself in a Barn by the Sea side.
