by Nostradamus

LII.

French.

Un Roy sera qui donra l’opposite,

Les exilez eslevez sur le Regne,

De sang nager la gent caste hyppolite,

Et florira long-temps sous telle enseigne.

English.

A King shall be, who shall be opponent

To the banished persons raised upon the Kingdom,

The chast Hippolite Nation shall swim in blood,

And shall flourish a great while under such an Ensign.

ANNOT.

Here is Demorritus’s Well where the truth may be, but I cannot find it.
