by Nostradamus

LXIX.

French.

Grand exercite conduit par jouvenceau,

Se viendra rendre aux mains des ennemis,

Mais le vieillard nay au demy pourceau,

Fera Chalon & Mascon estre amis.

English.

A great Army led by a young man,

Shall yield it self in the hands of the enemies,

But the old man born at the sign of the halfe-Hog,

Shall cause Chalon and Mascon to be friends.

ANNOT.

The two first Verses are plain; as for the third Verse, I could not find who that Old man should be, that shall be born at the sign of the half-Hog.

Chalon and Mascon are two Cities in France, the first in Champagne, the last in Burgundy.
