French.

De Castel Franco sortira l’assemblée,

L’Ambassadeur non plaisant fera Schisme,

Ceux de Riviere seront en la meslée,

Et au grand Goulphre desnieront l’entrée.

English.

Out of Castel Franco shall come the Assembly,

The Embassador not pleased, shall make a Schisme,

Those of Riviere shall be in the medley,

And shall deny the entry of the great Gulf.

ANNOT.

Castel Franco is a Town in Piemont; Riviere is a strong Castle in Burgundy, but what he meaneth by the great Gulfe, is more then I can tell.
