by Nostradamus

LIX.

French.

Les exilez deportez dans les Isles,

Au changement d’un plus cruel Monarque,

Seront meurtris & mis dans les Scintilles,

Qui de parler ne seront este parques.

English.

They banished that were carried into the Islands,

At the change of a more cruel Monarque,

Shall be murdered, and put in the sparks of fire,

Because they had not been sparing of their tongues.

ANNOT.

This is very plain, and signifieth no more, but that some persons that were banished into Islands, and could not hold their tongues; upon the coming of a Monarque, more cruel than his Predecessor, shall be murdered, and burnt.
