Tant de mille & mille Soldats,

Tuez, noiez, sans y rien faire,

Dans plus forte mettra pied terre,

Pigmée aidé des Censuarts.

How much Gold and Silver shall be spent,

When Earl shall go about to take a Town,

So many thousands and thousands of Soldiers,

Killed, drowned, without doing any thing,

In a stronger he shall put his foot on ground,
