by Nostradamus

I.

French.

Autour des Monts Pyrenees grand amas,

De gent estrange secourir Roy nouveau,

Pres de Garonne du grand Temple du Mas,

Un Romain Chef le craindra dedans l’Eau.

English.

About the Pyrenean Mountains there shall be a great gathering

Of strange Nations to succour a new King;

Near Garonne and the great Temple of Mas,

A Roman Captain shall fear him in the Water.

ANNOT.

The Pyrenean Mountains are those that part Spain from France; Garonne is the River that runneth at Bourdeaux, it seemeth then, that upon that River a Roman Captain shall stand in much fear of the new King before mentioned.
