A LATIN INSCRIPTION
ON A MEDAL TOR LEWIS XIV. OF FRANCE.
Proximus et ſimilis regnas, Ludovice, tonanti,
Vim ſummam, ſumma cum pietate, geris;
Magnus es expanſis alis, ſed maximus armis,3
Protegis hinc Anglos, Teutones inde feris.
Quin cöeant toto Titania fœdera Rheno,
Illa Aquilam tantùm, Gallia fulmen habet.6
