Series atque ordo consulum reipub. Tigurinae a Rodolpho Brunone usque ad tempora nostra

in the year 1544

IOANNES RODOLPHUS LAFATERUS 1544.
The thrice-greatest hero Lafaterus holds the assembly,
Sent as a legate to the Swiss baths.
And (because it seemed so) the chorus of nobles recalls all the same
Friendship with the snake-bearing leader likely an allusion to a heraldic symbol or a specific enemy.

in the year 1557

GEORGIUS MULLERUS,
1557.
57: The people with applause, and the fathers with favor, Georgius,
Prove that you have earned the title of the empire.
Although you have often humbly turned away from honors,
Which the people bestowed, which the fathers bestowed.

1571 April

BERNARDUS A CHAAM.
1560.
71. Two opposing arches of the rainbow
April. We saw before the deaths of that consul.
If you happen to ask for the outcome of such a great omen,
Gaul has indeed been cut into two parts.

IOANNES BRAEMIUS.
1567.
72. Braemius governs the reins of the afflicted fatherland,
Having obtained times of sad and bitter famine.
The land is (alas) less fit for producing crops,
And the fruit trees are not burdened with their own branches.
