Les vieux chemins seront tous embellis,
L’on passera a _Memphis_ somentrées,
Le grand _Mercure_ d’_Hercule_ fleur de lys,
Faisant trembler Terre, Mer, & Contrées.

English.

The old ways shall be made all fair,
There shall be a passage to _Memphis_ _Somentrées_,
The great _Mercury_ of _Hercules_ Flower de luce,
Making the Earth, the Sea, and the Countreys to quake.

ANNOT.

This word _Somentrees_, being altogether barbarous, is the reason that neither sense nor construction can be made of all these words.
