Qui seront sus & pris a la pipée,

Paisants irez pulseront tost faugnars,

Precipitez tous au fil de l’Espée.

English.

The Celtique Army shall go against the Highlanders,

Who shall stand upon their guard, and be taken with Bird-lime twigs,

The Peasant being angry, shall roll down the stones,

They shall be all put to the edge of the sword.

ANNOT.

This is a description of the attempt made by the French upon Savoy, which Countrey lieth in the Mountains of the Alpes, therefore called here Highlanders; where the Peasants being incensed for the loss of their goods and the ruine of their Countrey, rolled stones from the top of the Mountains against the French Army, which could not hinder them from being destroyed; this came to pass under Henry the IV. King of France, in the year 1662.
