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
_Arnani_, _Tholose_, and _Villefranche_ are Towns of a Province in
_France_ called _Languedoc_. Mont _Adrian_ is a Mountain thereabout, and
_Hutin_ is an old _French_ word, signifying noise and strife, the sense
then of this Prophecy is, that by those Towns and Mountains, shall pass
an infinite multitude of people, with a great noise and strife, and shall
come and enter into _Bayonne_, every one crying in that Countrey Language
_Bichoro_, which is as much as to say, _Victory_.
LXXXVII.
French.
Mort conspirée viendra en plein effet,
Charge donnée & voyage de mort,
Esleu, crée, receus, par siens desfait,
Sang d’innocence devant soy par remort.
English.
A conspired death shall come to an effect,
Charge given, and a journey of death,
Elected, created, received, by his own defeated,
Blood of Innocency before him by remorse.
ANNOT.
There is no mistical sense in this, and the words are plain, although of
a crabbid construction.
LXXXVIII.
French.
Dans la _Sardaigne_ un noble Roy viendra,
Qui ne tiendra que trois ans le Royaume,
Plusieurs couleurs avec soy conjoindra,
Luy mesme apres soin sommeil Matrirscome.
English.
A noble King shall come into _Sardinia_,
Who shall hold the Kingdom only three years,
He shall joyn many Colours to his own,
Himself afterwards, care, sleep matrirscome.
ANNOT.
_Sardinia_ is an Island in the _Mediterranean_ Sea, now in the possession
of the _Spaniard_, since he took the Kingdom of _Naples_, the three first
Verses are something intelligible, the last is altogether impossible and
barbarous.
LXXXIX.
French.
Pour ne tomber entre mains de son oncle,
Qui ses enfans par regner trucidez,
Orant au peuple mettant pied sur _Peloncle_,
Mort & traisné entre Chevaux bardez.
English.
That he might not fall into the hands of his Uncle,
That had murdered his Children for to rule,
Taking away from the people, and putting his foot upon _Peloncle_,
Dead and drawn among armed Horses.
ANNOT.
This signifieth that an Uncle shall murder his Nephews Children, that he
may Reign, and that the said Nephew shall withdraw, and save himself from
the said Uncle. The rest is altogether obscure, if not absurd.
XC.
French.
Quand des croisez un trouvé de sens trouble,
En lieu du sacre verra un Bœuf cornu,
Par vierge porc son lieu lors sera double,
Par Roy plus ordre ne sera soustenu.
English.
When of the crossed, one of a troubled mind,
In a sacred place shall see a horny Oxe,
By Virgin Pork then shall his place be double,
By King no henceforth, order shall be maintained.
ANNOT.
