Nostradamus
Astrology -- Early works to 1800; Prophecies -- Early works to 1800
This is a confirmation of the fourth Stanza, concerning the loss of the
Pope, _Clement_ the VII. who is called here the eye of _Ravenna_, because
he is Lord of that famous City, which was once an Exarchat of the Empire.
The wings that shall rise at, or against his feet, shall be those of the
Eagle, which are the Arms of the Emperour.
The two of _Brescia_ were the Governour and Proveditor of _Venice_ in
that place, who would at that time have endeavoured to seize upon _Turin_
and _Verceil_, the two chiefest Towns of _Piemont_, but were prevented by
the _French_.
VII.
French.
Tard arrivé, l’execution faite,
Le Vent contrare, Lettres au chemin prinses,
Les Conjurez quatorze d’une Secte,
Par le Rousseau seront les entreprinses.
English.
One coming too late, the execution shall be done,
The Wind being contrary, and Letters intercepted by the way,
The Conspirators fourteen of a Sect,
By the Red-hair’d Man the undertaking shall be made.
ANNOT.
The sense of the whole is this, there shall be fourteen Conspirators
of one mind, and their Ring-leader, a Red-haired man, who shall be put
to death, because their Reprieve could not come timely enough, being
hindered by cross winds, and Letters intercepted. I could find no
particular things in History concerning this.
VIII.
French.
Combien de fois prinse Cité Solaire,
Seras, changeant les Loix barbares & vaines,
Ton mal s’approche, plus seras tributaire,
Le grand _Adrie_ recouvrira tes veines.
English.
How often taken O solar City,
Shalt thou be? changing the barbarian and vain Laws,
Thy evil growth nigh, thou shalt be more tributary,
The great _Adria_ shall recover thy veins.
ANNOT.
It is hard to judge what he meaneth by the Solar City that shall be so
often taken.
As by _Adria_, it is certain he meaneth _Venice_, that was so called
anciently, because of its scituation in the _Adriatick_ Sea.
IX.
French.
De l’Orient viendra le cœur punique,
Fascher _Adrie_, & les hoirs _Romulides_,
Accompagné de la classe Libique,
Trembler _Melites_, & proches Isles vuides.
English.
From the East shall come the _African_ heart,
To vex _Adria_, and the Heirs of _Romulus_,
Accompanied with the _Libian_ fleet
_Melites_ shall tremble, and the Neighbouring Islands be empty.
ANNOT.
