by Nostradamus

I.

French.

A l’Ennemy, l’ennemy foy promise,

Ne se tiendra, les captifs retenus,

Prins preme mort & le reste en chemise,

Donnant le reste pour estre secourus.

English.

To the enemy, the enemy faith promised,

Shall not be kept, the prisoners shall be detained,

The first taken, put to death, and the rest stripped,

Giving the remnant that they may be succoured.

ANNOT.

These words are plain, though the sense be a little intricated, and the contents being of small concernments, deserve no further explanation.
