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
Upon the Pallace at the Rock of the Windows;
Shall be carried the two little Royal ones,
To pass _Aurele_, _Lutece_, _Denis_ Cloisters,
_Nonnain_, _Mollods_ to swallow green stones of fruit.
ANNOT.
These two or three last Stanzas have been concerning the City of _Blois_,
to which it seemeth that this hath also relation, for he saith that
two little Royal Children shall be carried at the top of the Castle,
and shall be conveyed beyond _Aurelle_ (which is _Orleans_ in Latine
_Aurelianum_) _Lutece_, which is _Paris_; S. _Denis_ Cloisters, which is
beyond _Paris_, and a Nunnery besides, where it is like they shall be
left to eat green stones of fruit, which is not easie to be understood,
no more then the word _Mollods_.

French.
Passant les Ponts, venir prez de Roziers,
Tard arrivé plustost quil cuidera,
Viendront les noves _Espagnols_ a _Beziers_,
Qui icelle chasse emprinse cassera.
English.
Going over the Bridge to come near the Rose-trees,
Come late, and sooner then he thought,
The new _Spaniards_ shall come to _Beziers_,
Who shall cashiere this new undertaken hunting.
ANNOT.
_Beziers_ is a City in _Languedoc_; the rest may be construed by the
meanest capacity.
XXVI.
French.
Nise sortie sur nom des Lettres aspres,
La grande Cappe fera present non sien,
Proche de _Vultry_ aux murs des vertes capres,
Apres _Plombin_ le vent a bon escient.
English.
A silly going out, caused by sharp Letters
The great Cap shall give what is not his,
Near _Vultry_ by the Walls of green Capers,
About _Piombino_ the wind shall be in good earnest.
ANNOT.
This signifieth that there shall be a silly surrendring of a Town, caused
by sharp and threatning Letters that shall be sent into it. By the great
_Cap_ he useth to understand the _Pope_, who he saith shall give what
is not it, as he hath done many times; _Vultry_, in Latine _Velitrum_,
and _Piombino_ are two Cities in _Italy_, which are threatned here with
mighty winds.
XXVII.
French.
De bois la garde vent clos ront Pont sera,
Haut le receu frappera le _Dauphin_,
Le vieux _Teccon_ bois unis passera,
Passant plus outre du Duc le droit confin.
English.
The Fence being of Wood, close Wind, Bridge shall be broken,
He that’s received high, shall strike at the _Dolphin_,
The old _Teccon_ shall pass over smooth Wood,
Going over the right confines of the Duke.
ANNOT.
The first Verse signifieth that a woodden Bridge shall be broken by a
close wind, as did happen to the Millers Bridge, and the Birds Bridge in
_Paris_.
The second Verse seemeth to foretel the conspiracy of the Mareshal of
_Biron_, against _Henry_ IV. his Dolphin and Estate.
The third and fourth, the Wars and Conquest which the said King (whom he
called old _Teccon_), made upon the Duke of _Savoy_, who had corrupted
the said Marshal of _Biron_.
XXVIII.
French.
