ANNOT.

Chelme is a German word, that signifies a Rogue. By Marnegro, is meant the Black Sea, or Nigropont. By pulling a Spunge, I suppose the great quantity of Spunges that stick to the Rocks in that Sea.

Tripolis, Chios, and Trapezon, are places in the Turkish Dominions.

La crainte Armée de l’ennemy Narbon,

Effroyera si fort les Hesperiques,

Parpignan vuide par l’aveugle d’Arbon,

Lors Barcelon par Mer donra les piques.
