by Nostradamus

LXII.

French.

Proche del Duero par Mer Cyrene close,

Viendra percer les grands Monts Pyrenees,

La main plus courte & sa percée gloses

A Carcasonne conduira ses menées.

English.

Near the Duero closed by the Cyrenian Sea,

Shall come to pierce the great Pyrenean Mountains,

The shorter hand and his pierced glose,

Shall in Carcassone lead his plot.

ANNOT.

The Cyrenian Sea, is that Sea which is by the Province of Cyrene. The Pyrenean Mountains part Spain from France. Carcassonne is a Town in France near unto Spain. The rest passeth my understanding.
