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.

En _Campanie_ le _Cassilin_ fera tant,
Quon ne verra que d’Aux les Champs couvers,
Devant apres la pluye de long temps,
Hormis les arbres rien lon verra de verts.
English.
In _Campania_ the _Cassilin_ shall so behave himself,
That nothing shall be seen but Fields covered with Garlick,
Before, and after it, shall not Rain for a good while,
Except the Trees, no Green shall be seen.
ANNOT.
This hath a dependance upon the foregoing Stanza; for _Campania_ is the
Province wherein _Rome_ is seated, and _Cassilin_, called _Campania
di Roma_, is the same as _Castillan_, because _Charles_ V. was not
only Emperour, but also King of _Spain_, the chief Province of which
is _Castilia_: therefore the Author describeth here the misery and
devastation of _Campania di Roma_ by the _Castilian_, who left nothing in
the ground, but Garlick, which is their most delicate food, and nothing
Green but the Trees.

French.
Lait Sang, Grenovilles, escouldre en _Dalmatie_,
Conflit donné, peste pres de _Balene_,
Cry sera grand par toute _Esclavonie_,
Lors naistra Monstre pres & dedans _Ravenne_.
English.
Milk, Blood, Frogs shall reign in _Dalmatia_,
A Battle fought, the Plague near _Balene_,
A great cry shall be through all _Sclavonia_,
Then shall be born a Monster, near and within _Ravenna_.
ANNOT.
_Dalmatia_ and _Sclavonia_, are Countreys joyning to the _Adriatick_ Sea,
belonging to the _Venetians_. _Ravenna_ is a City in _Italy_, the rest
needeth no interpretation.
XXXIII.
French.
Dans le torrent qui descend de _Verone_,
Par lors qu’au Pau guidera son entrée,
Un grand Naufrage, & non moins en _Garonne_,
Quand ceux de _Genes_ Marcheront leur contrée.
English.
In the torrent which cometh down from _Verona_,
About the place where it falleth into the _Pau_,
A great Shipwrack, and no less in _Garonna_,
When those of _Genoa_ shall go into their Countrey.
ANNOT.
_Verona_ is a City in _Italy_, belonging to the _Venetians_, through
the middle of which runneth a River called _Adde_, which falleth into
the River _Pau_, about which place there shall be a great Shipwrak; as
also another in the River of _Garonna_, which passeth at _Bordeaux_, the
time that the Author marketh, is when those of _Genoa_ shall go into
their Countrey, that is to say, when some Ships of _Genoa_ shall come to
_Bordeaux_.
XXXIV.
French.
L’Ire insensée du Combat furieux,
Fera a Table par Freres le Fer luire,
Les departir, blessé, curieux,
Le fier duel viendra en _France_ nuire.
English.
The mad anger of the furious fight,
Shall cause by Brothers the Iron to glister at the Table,
To part them one wounded, curious,
The fierce Duel shall do harm after in _France_.
ANNOT.
