Transcriber’s Note: An English version was omitted from this printing, but the annotation below is an accurate enough (if not very poetic) translation.
ANNOT.
The sense of this is, that the lower Lorrain and Germany being united together, shall have War with the other three Nations, of Picards, Normans, and Manceaux, which having Besieged a Town, shall constrain the Lorrainers and Low-germans, to unite themselves with the Cantons of Switzerland.
LII.
French.
Au lieu ou Laye & Scelde se marient,
Seront les Nopces de long temps mamée,
Au lieu d’Anvers ou la grappe charient,
Jeune vieillesse conforte intammée.
