Bien defendu le fait par excellence,

Garde toy Tours de ta proche ruine,

Londres & Nantes par Rheims fera defence,

Ne passes outre au temps de la bruine.

English.

The fact shall be defended excellently well

Tours beware of thy approaching ruine,

London and Nantes by Rhemes shall stand upon their defence,

Do not go further in foggy weather.

ANNOT.

Tours is the chief City of a Province in France, called Touraine, which is commended here for having resisted excellently well; but is forewarned to look to her self after that, and to beware of her approaching ruine.
