French.

Le faux message par election feinte,

Courir par Urbem rompue pache arreste,

Voix acheptées de sang chappelle teinte,

Et a un autre qui l’Empire conteste.

English.

The contract broken, stoppeth the message,

From going about the Town, by a fained election,

Voices shall be bought, and a Chappel died with blood,

By another, who challengeth the Empire.
