by Nostradamus

LIX.

French.

Deux assiegez en ardante ferveur,

De soif estaints pour deux plaines Tasses;

Le fort limé & un vieillard resueur,

Au Genois, de Nizza monstrera trace.

English.

Two besieged, being in a burning heat,

Shall die for thirst, want of two Bowls full,

The Fort being filed, an old doting man,

Shall show to the Genoese the way to Nizza.

ANNOT.

The two first Verses are plain. The two last Verses signifie that an old doting man shall shew to the Genoeses the way how to take Nizza, a Town hard by them, by filing some Iron Grates, by which they shall get into the Town.
