I.

French.

Sera du reste de sang non espandu, _Venice_ quiert secours estre donné, Apres avoir bien lon temps attendu, Cité livrée au premier Cor sonné.

English.

There shall be a remnant of blood unspilt, _Venice_ shall seek for succours, After having long waited for it, The City shall be surrendred at the first sound of the Trumpet.

ANNOT.

This to my judgement is concerning the Siege of _Candia_, in which the _Venetians_ for the space of about twenty years desired and expected succours from the Christian Princes, which came so slowly, that the City was fained to surrender upon honorable terms, which is the meaning of the first Verse, _There shall be a remnant of blood unspilt_.
