by Nostradamus

LVIII.

French.

Entre les deux Monarques esloignez,

Lors que le Sol par Selin clair perdue:

Simulté grande entre deux indignez,

Qu’aux Isles & Sienne la liberté renduë.

English.

Between the two Monarchs that live far one from the other,

When the Sun shall be Ecclipsed by Selene,

Great enmity shall be between them two,

So that liberty shall be restored to the Isles and Sienne.

ANNOT.

Here is nothing difficult but the word Selene, which is the Moon from the Greek σεληνη.

The meaning is, that at such a time when the Sun is Ecclipsed by the Moon, Sienna and the Islands about it shall be at liberty.
