Defensio publica.
Defense of the public interest.
Se faut il par la loy defendre ce pendant
Qu’elle n’a point de lieu? n’est il donc pas licite
Se sauver au peril dont on void la conduicte
Sur nostre propre chef en armes descendant?
Il ne faut point doubter qu’il ne nous soit permis
De defendre au cousteau la querelle publique
Cela est approuvé en toute Republique
De garder nostre bien contre les ennemis.
