RODOLPHUS SCHWENDIUS,
Knight. 1390.
He instituted a market, that it might be celebrated every year, 1390.
Schwendius, under your auspices, Caesar, in the city.
This custom, after fifty days had been completed
After the feast of Easter, lasts even today.
IOANNES MANASSES.
Manasses, distinguished by his grandfathers and great-grandfathers, held the reins 1398.
Of the city, being Consul for a brief time.
For the rule that had been solemn for one man,
Posterity bestowed upon two consuls.
RODOLPHUS SCHOENIUS.
1391.
The Austrian Duke seeks a pact of friendship with Zürich, 1393.
Yet he accomplishes nothing by prayer or by price.
The Republic punishes several citizens with exile,
After Schoenius obtained the command.
HENRYCUS MEYSIUS.
1395.
The City Hall is built, founded on ancient stone, 1398.
Where the Limmat wanders with winding water.
And the double-edged sword is extended by Caesar to Henrycus 1400.
Meysius, so that he might punish the sources likely referring to the water supply or fountains as symbols of judicial power in his city.
