The Citizens of Mesopotamia,

Being angry with the friends of Tarragone,

Playes, laughter, feasts, every body being asleep,

The Vicar being in the Pulpit, City taken by those of Ausone.

We have said before, that by Ausone the Author understands the City of Bourdeaux, which he called Ausone, from the Poet and Consul of Rome Ausonius who was born there.
