Rodolphus Bruno, and institutes the twelve Tribes.

So that the perfidious crowd may harm the fatherland less.

Had of their own accord shaken off the yoke of Caesar:
The pacts which they entered into with the warring cantons,
Caesar of the Romans ordered to be held as valid.

Behold, the Austrian leader Leopold, proud with crowned helmets
and crests, drives the Pannonians Often used to refer to the Austrians in this context.
And having engaged the fierce Helvetians in close combat with arms,
Soon at Sempach he undergoes sad fates.
