by Nostradamus

LXI.

French.

La pille faite a la Coste Marine,

Incita nova & parens amenez,

Plusieurs de Malthe par le fait de Messine,

Estroit serrez seront mal guerdonnez.

English.

The plunder made upon the Sea Coast,

Incita nova and friends brought up,

Many of Maltha, for the fact of Messina,

Being close kept, shall be ill rewarded.

ANNOT.

It seemeth that this Plunder made upon the Sea Coast, shall be about Messina, by the Maltheses, who afterwards shall rue for it, being taken Prisoners, and severely punished.

As for the expression Incita nova, it is a barbarous derivation of the Latine, to signifie the stirring of new troubles.
