by Nostradamus

IX.

French.

Meysinier, Manthi, & le tiers qui viendra,

Peste & nouveau insult, enclos troubler.

Aix & les lieux fureur dedans mordra,

Puis les Phocens viendront leur mal doubler.

English.

Meysinier, Manthi, and the third that shall come,

Plague and new attempt shall trouble them enclosed,

The fury of it shall bite in Aix and the places there about,

Then they of Phocens shall come and double their misery.

ANNOT.

These are names of particular persons that are here threatned of the Plague, as also the City of Aix Capital of Provence, and the Countrey about it, and after that the City of Marseilles named here Phocens, because they are a Colony of the old Phocenses in Greece.
