The true prophecies or prognostications of Michael Nostradamus, physician to Henry II. Francis II. and Charles IX. Kings of France, and one of the best astronomers that ever were.: A work full of curiosity and learning. Translated and commented by Theophilus de Garencieres, Doctor in Physick Colleg. Lond.
Nostradamus
Astrology -- Early works to 1800; Prophecies -- Early works to 1800
By the _Calpre_ is understood the _Capzor_ promontory, which is at the
mouth of the _Streights_, by and beyond which these Prisoners will be
carried into _Persia_ for a present to the King, who then shall be some
fearful person.

French.
Le grand criard sans honte audacieux,
Sera esleu Governeur le d’Armée,
La hardiesse de son contentieux,
Le pont rompu, Cité de peur pasmée.
English.
The great bawler proud without shame,
Shall be elected Governour of the Army,
The stoutness of his Competitor,
The Bridge being broken, the City shall faint for fear.
ANNOT.
_Paradin_ saith, that in the year 1558. the Lord of _Bonnivet_ being
dead, the King of _France_ did chuse _Francis_ of _Vendosme_, _Vidame_ of
_Amiens_, to succeed the said _Bonnivet_, in the Office of Colonel of the
_French_ Foot. This _Vidame_ is noted by all Historians, for a rash proud
man, that had a good opinion of himself, and found fault with all the
commands of the Marshal of _Brissac_, then General of the Army.
The King in consideration of his Birth, and that he was a good Souldier,
gave him the place of the Lord _Bonnivet_, according to what the Author
saith, _The great Bawler, ~&c.~ shall be elected Governour in the Army_.
If you ask in what Army he was elected Governour, the third Verse
answereth, _in the Army of his Competitor_, that is, the Marshal of
_Brissac_, who did chide him severely for disobeying his commands, and
was like once to have killed him.
The fourth Verse proved true at the taking of _Queiras_, where the
Bridge, through which the succours came to relieve the Town, being
broken, the Town grew so fearful, that it surrendred it self to the
Marshal of _Brissac_.

French.
_Erins_, _Antibe_, villes auteur de _Nice_,
Seront vastées fort par Mer & par Terre,
Les Sauterelles Terre & Mer vent propice,
Prins, morts, troussez, pillez, sans loy de guerre.
English.
_Erins_, _Antibe_, and the Towns about _Nices_,
Shall be destroyed by Sea and Land,
The Grashopers shall have the Land, the Sea, and Wind favourable,
They shall be taken, killed, thrust up, plundered, without Law of War.
ANNOT.
_Erins_ and _Antibe_ are Towns of _Provence_, bordering upon _Nice_,
which is a Town of _Piemont_, all that Coast is threatned here to be
ruined by the Grashopers, that is, the _Turks_, which fell out about the
year 1558. for the King of _France_ having called the _Turks_ to his
succours against _Charles_ V. Emperour, they came and took _Nice_ in the
behalf of the _French_, where they committed unheard cruelties, as also
upon all that Coast.
LXXXI.
French.
L’Ordre fatal sempiternal par chaisne,
Viendra tourner par ordre consequent,
Du Port _Phocen_ sera rompue la chaine,
La Cité prinse, l’ennemy quant & quant.
