Je pleure _Nice_, _Monaco_, _Pise_, _Genes_,
_Savone_, _Sienne_, _Capoue_, _Modene_, _Malthe_,
Le dessus sang & glaive par estrenes,
Feu, trembler Terre, eau, malheureuse _nolte_.

English.

I bewail _Nice_, _Monaco_, _Pisa_, _Genoa_,
_Savona_, _Sienna_, _Capoua_, _Modena_, _Maltha_,
Upon them blood and sword for a new years-gift,
Fire, Earth-quake, water, unhappy _nolte_.

ANNOT.

All these Cities are situated by the _Mediterranean_ Sea, and most of them upon that part of it, which is called the River of _Genoa_, and are threatned here by all the plagues above mentioned; as for the word _nolte_ it is a barbarous one, forced here to make up the Rime in _French_.
