Commentary
Il n'y a plus de Pyrénées. Tels étaient les mots que l'on aimait à répéter en 1700 ; mais à peine l'assemblée était-elle dissoute, que la foudre éclata à l'horizon. Le Nord se liguait contre la France et l'Espagne dont le trône venait d'être donné au petit-fils de Louis XIV. Brulard, qui dans ses discours avait souvent fourni le sujet des jetons, indique encore celui de cette année dans ces mots faisant allusion au roi sous l'emblème du soleil : “Il entre d'abord dans les nuées par la douceur de ses influences. Si elles résistent, il les dissipe et les abat par la force de ses rayons”.
There are no more Pyrenees. These were the words that people liked to repeat in 1700; but barely had the assembly been dissolved when lightning struck on the horizon. The North was in league against France and Spain, whose throne had just been given to the grandson of Louis XIV. Brulard, who in his speeches had often provided the subject of the tokens, still indicates that of this year in these words alluding to the king under the emblem of the sun: “He first enters the clouds by the sweetness of his influences. If they resist, he dissipates them and strikes them down by the force of his rays.”
