In the fourth Verse the impression setteth down _shall follow_, which maketh nonsense, and therefore I put _shall run away_, which is a word in _French_ near the other, and maketh a compleat sense, to which agreeth the birth of that Monster in _February_, and the taking of _Cazal_ in the Month of _March_. In that year, _John Statius_ setteth _Shrove-Tuesday_ upon the 16 of _February_, and consequently we must say, that the Town was not taken that year 1554. for the Citadel was taken 12 days after, which should have been the 19 of _February_, and notwithstanding the History marks that it was taken upon the 14 of _March_. Therefore we must conclude, that it was taken the year following 1555. and to say truth, in that year _Ash-wednesday_ was the 27. of _February_; in that day the Town was taken, and two days after the Tower of _Cazal_; after which the Citadel was besieged the second of _March_, and the first _Saturday_ of Lent, and was taken twelve days after, which was the 14. of _March_, which convinceth me that _Cazal_ was taken in the year 1555. upon the 27. of _February_, and therefore that this Stanza is wholly Prophetical. LIX. French. Les exilez deportez dans les Isles, Au changement d’un plus cruel Monarque, Seront meurtris & mis dans les Scintilles, Qui de parler ne seront este parques. English. They banished that were carried into the Islands, At the change of a more cruel Monarque, Shall be murdered, and put in the sparks of fire, Because they had not been sparing of their tongues. ANNOT. This is very plain, and signifieth no more, but that some persons that were banished into Islands, and could not hold their tongues; upon the coming of a Monarque, more cruel than his Predecessor, shall be murdered, and burnt. LX. French. Un Empereur naistra pres d’_Italie_, Qui a l’Empire sera vendu bien cher, Diront avec quels gens il se ralie, Qu’on trouvera moins Prince que Boucher. English. An Emperour shall be born near _Italy_, Who shall cost dear to the Empire, They shall say, what people he keepeth company! He shall be found less a Prince, than a Butcher. ANNOT. This Prophecy is for the future; for since _Nostradamus_’s time till now, such an Emperour was not heard of, that was born near _Italy_, that cost the Empire so dear, and proved more a Butcher, than a Prince. LXI. French. La Republique miserable infelice, Sera vastée du nouveau Magistrat, Leur grand amas de l’exil malefice, Fera _Suede_ ravir leur grand contract. English. The miserable and unhappy Common-wealth, Shall be wafted by the new Magistrate; Their great gathering from exiled persons, Shall cause _Swedeland_ to break her Contract. ANNOT.
