by Nostradamus

LXIV.

French.

On ne tiendra pache aucun arresté,

Tous recevants iront par tromperie,

De trefue & paix, Terre & Mer protesté,

Par Barcelone classe prins d’industrie.

English.

No agreement shall be kept,

All those that shall admit of it deal falsly,

There shall be protestations made by Land and Sea,

Barcelone shall take a Fleet by craft.

ANNOT.

This is a description of the sad and calamitous estate of France, in the time of the Civil wars, when no agreement could be kept on the Roman Catholicks side, witness the several Peaces that were made and broken, the Massacre of Vassa, and that infamous perfidy committed by them on St. Bartholomews day, being the 24 of August, Anno 1572.
