by Nostradamus

LXII.

French.

Sur les Rochers sang on verra pleuvoir,

Sol Orient, Saturne Occidental,

Pres d’Orgon Guerre, a Rome grand mal voir,

Nefs parfondrées, & prins le Tridental.

English.

It shall rain blood upon the Rocks,

The Sun being in the East, and Saturn in the West,

War shall be near Orgon, and great evil at Rome,

Ships shall be cast away, and the Trident be taken.

ANNOT.

I could not find what he meaneth by Orgon. As by the Trident being taken, I suppose he meaneth a Ship called Neptune, because Neptune is always painted with a Trident.
