Eight Bridges broken, the chief at last in Prison,
Compleat children shall have their throat cut.
ANNOT.
It is an accident that hath often happened to a Commander of an Army, to find himself either by his own oversight, or by the policy of his enemies, shut up between two Rivers, having upon neither of them a Bridge at his command; as it did happen once to the Prince of Condé, the Grandfather of this, in the time of the Civil war for Religion, who was forced by it to dissolve his Army, and bid every one shift for himself, so that they almost all escaped by several small parties, some going one way some another, at such time it is an ordinary shift to make use of empty Vessels and Caskes to make a Bridge, as our Author doth mention here.

La bande foible la Terre occupera,
Ceux du haut lieu feront horribles cris,
Le gros troupeau d’estre coin troublera,
Tombe pres D. nebro descouvert les escrits.
