French.

Pres de Parpan les rouges detenus,

Ceux du milieu parfondrez menez loing,

Trois mis en pieces, & cinq mal soustenus,

Pour le Seigneur & Prelat de Bourgoing.

English.

Near unto Parpan the red ones detained,

Those of the middle sunk and carried far off,

Three cut in pieces, and five ill backed,

For the Lord and Prelate of Burgoing.

ANNOT.

Parpan is either a barbarous or fained name, by the red ones, he hath hitherto understood some Cardinals, the Reader may expound the rest according to his fancy.
