History
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
One King shall have two Sons, the eldest shall succeed him in the
Kingdom, the youngest having been well brought up and educated, shall
raise troubles, against the King his Brother; but he shall be destroyed
by the means of his own Father in Law.
LXXXVIII.
French.
La grand _Antoine_ du nom de fait sordide,
De _Phtyriase_ a son dernier rongé,
Un qui de plomb voudra este cupide,
Passant le port d’_Esleu_ sera plongé.
English.
The great _Antony_ by name, but in effect sordid,
Of _Phtyriasis_ shall at last be eaten up,
One that shall be covetous of Lead,
Going upon Port d’_Esleu_ shall fall into the Water.
ANNOT.
_Phtyriasis_ in Greek is the disease called by the Latines _Morbus
pedicularis_, when one is devoured by Lice, as were _Herodes_, _Sylla_,
_Pherecydes_, and _Philip_ II. King of _Spain_, &c.
As for Port d’_Esleu_, the question is, whether it be the proper name of
a place, or the name of a man, that shall throw another in the water.
LXXXIX.
French.
Trente de _Londres_ secret conjureront,
Contre Leur Roy, sur le pont l’Entreprise,
Les _Satellites_ la mort desgouteront,
Un Roy esleu blond & natif de _Frize_.
English.
Thirty of _London_ shall secretly conspire,
Against their King, upon the Bridge the Plot shall be made,
These _Satellites_ shall taste of death,
A King shall be elected, fair, and born in _Friezeland_.
ANNOT.
Here may be alleadged that passage of Scripture, _There is nothing so
secret but shall be revealed_; for here is plainly told the number of
those wicked persons, who conspired against their lawful Sovereign King
_Charles_ I. of blessed memory, as also the place where the Plot was
first laid; for it is well known that they used to assemble at the _Bear_
at the Bridge foot.
XC.
French.
Les deux copies au murs ne pourront joindre,
Dans cet instant trembler _Milan_, _Thesin_,
Faim soif, doutance si fort les viendront prendre,
Chair, pain, ne vivres nauront un seul boucin.
English.
The two Armies shall not be able to joyn by the Walls,
At that instant _Milan_ and _Thesin_ shall tremble,
Hunger, thirst, and fear shall so seize upon them,
They shall not have a bit of meat, bread, nor victuals.
ANNOT.
_Milan_ is a City in _Italy_, and _Thesin_ is the River that passeth by
it.
XCI.
French.
Au Duc _Gaulois_ contraint battre au Duelle,
La nef de Mole, _Monech_ naprochera,
Tort accuse, prison perpetuelle,
Son Fils regner avant mort taschera.
English.
A _French_ Duke compelled to fight a Duel,
The Ship of Mole shall not come near _Monaco_,
Wrongfully accused shall have a perpetual Prison,
His son shall endeavour to Reign before his death.
ANNOT.
