by Nostradamus

LXII.

French.

Lors qu’on verra expiler le Saint Temple,

Plus grand du Rhosne, & sacres prophaner:

Par eux naistra pestilence si grande,

Roy fait injuste ne sera condamner.

English.

When one shall see spoiled the Holy Temple,

The greatest of the Rhosne, and sacred things prophaned,

from them shall come so great a pestilence,

That the King being unjust shall not condemn them.

ANNOT.

The greatest Temple of the Rhosne, is that of the City of Lion, which is seated upon that River of Rhosne, which when it shall be robbed and spoiled, then shall come a horrid Pestilence, which our Author attributeth to the injustice of the King then Reigning, who shall neglect to punish those Sacriledges.
