by Nostradamus

LXIV.

French.

Pleure Milan, pleure Lucques, Florence,

Que ton grand Duc sur le Char montera,

Changer le Siege pres de Venise s’advance,

Lors que Colonne a Rome changera.

English.

Weep Milan, weep Lucques, and Florence,

When the great Duke shall go upon the Chariot,

To change the Siege near Venice he goeth about,

When Colonne shall change at Rome.

ANNOT.

This Prophecy seemeth to portend the change of the See of Rome in some place near to Venice, and this is to happen when the great Duke of Tuscany shall ascend upon a Triumphant Chariot, and that the House of Colonne (which is the more powerfull in Rome) shall take his part.
