by Nostradamus

II.

French.

Par mort la France prendra voiage a faire,

Classe par Mer, marcher Monts Pyrenées,

Espagne en trouble marcher gent militaire,

Des plus grands Dames en France emmenées.

English.

By reason of a death, France shall undertake a Journey,

They shall have a Fleet at Sea, and march towards the Pyrenes,

Spain shall be in trouble by an Army,

Some of the greatest Ladies in France carried away

ANNOT.

The whole sense of this is, that by reason of some bodies death, France shall make war against Spain by Sea and Land, and put Spain in great trouble.

The fourth Verse saith, that some of the greatest Ladies in France shall be carried away, but the question is, whether by the Spaniards, or (which is more probable) by their own Husbands going to war against Spain.
