Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

no idea

looks like gibberish

#

the gibberish in question is probably Middle French

#

I think it's a metaphor of dead/buried soldiers

#

sous la pâture d'animaux qui ruminent
→ dans le sol

"herbipole" est peut-être un néologisme mais ça me fait penser à une ville d'herbe, le "ventre" étant le cœur/le centre. Au centre d'une ville d'herbe… le champ de bataille ?

les armes bruit menant
→ les armes faisant du bruit

#

it's hard to make full sense of the text as a whole, metaphors like that are lost on us nowadays

#

#

16th century

#

I was a bit off with my interpretation apparently but it takes a scholar to understand French from that time, especially in a poetic style
