by Nostradamus

LXV.

French.

Le park enclin grande calamité,

Par l’Hesperie & Insubre sera,

Le Feu en Nef, Peste, & Captivité,

Mercure en l’Ar, Saturn fenera.

English.

The Park enclineth to great calamity,

Which shall be through Hesperia and Insubria,

The Fire in the Ship, Plague, and Captivity,

Mercury in Aries, Saturn shall wither.

ANNOT.

Though the words be plain, nevertheless the sense is very obscure, and chiefly as I suppose by the faults of the impression, all what I can tell you here, is, that Hesperia in Latine, is Spain, and Insubria, is Savoy.
