Nostradamus
Astrology -- Early works to 1800; Prophecies -- Early works to 1800
Lost, found again, hidden so great a while,
A Pastor as Deme-God shall be honoured;
But before the Moon endeth her great Age,
By other winds he shall be dishonoured.
ANNOT.
The Prophecie is concerning the body of a famous Churchman, which was
lost, and shall be found again, and worshiped as a _Demy-God_, but before
the _Moon_ hath run her great age, which is of 13 Months, it shall be
vilified and dishonoured.

Le grand du Foudre tombe d’heure diurne,
Mal & predit par Porteur populaire,
Suivant presage tombe d’heure nocturne,
Conflit _Rheims_, _Londres_, _Etrusque_ Pestifere.
English.
The great Man falleth by the Lightning in the day time,
An evil foretold by a common Porter;
According to this foretelling another falleth in the night,
A fight at _Rhemes_, and the Plague at _London_ and _Tuscany_.
ANNOT.
This is concerning some great man, who being premonished by a common
Carrier not to travel upon a certain day, did slight the advice, and was
strucken by Lightning in the day time, and another in the night; at the
same time there was a fight at _Rhemes_, and the Plague at _London_ and
in _Tuscany_, which in Latin is called _Etruria_.

Des soubs le Chesne _Guyen_ du Ciel frappé,
Non loin de la est caché le Thresor,
Qui par long Siecles avoit esté grappé,
Trouvé mourra, l’œil crevé de ressor.
English.
Under the Oak _Guyen_ strucken from Heaven,
Not far from it is the Treasure hidden,
Which hath been many Ages a gathering;
Being found he shall die, the eye put out by a spring.
ANNOT.
The sense of it is, that some body (who is named here _Guyen_) being
under an Oak shall be strucken with the lightning, and that near that
place there is a great Treasure, that hath been many years a gathering,
and that he who shall find it shall die, being shot in the eye with a
Fire-lock.

La Tour de _Bouk_ craindra fuste Barbare,
Un temps, long temps apres Barque _Hesperique_,
Bestial, gens meubles tous deux feront grand tare,
_Taurus_ & _Libra_, quelle mortelle pique?
English.
The Tower of _Bouk_ shall be in fear of a Barbarian Fleet,
For a while, and long after afraid of _Spanish_ shipping,
Flocks, peoples, goods both shall receive great damage,
_Taurus_ and _Libra_, O what a deadly feud.
ANNOT.
The Tower of _Bouk_ is a strong place seated by the _Rhosne_, where it
entereth into the Mediterranean Sea; it is said here that it shall be in
fear of a Barbarian Fleet, and after that of a _Spanish_ one, and that
both the _Spaniard_ and the _French_ shall have great losses in Cattle,
People and Goods, and this shall happen when the Sun shall be in the
Signs of _Taurus_ and _Libra_.
