by Nostradamus

LXV.

French.

Quand le Sepulchre du grand Romain trouvé,

Le jour apres sera esleu Pontife,

Du Senat gueres il ne sera prouvé,

Empoisonné, son sang au Sacre Scyphe.

English.

When the Sepulcher of the great Roman shall be found,

The next day after a Pope shall be elected,

Who shall not be much approved by the Senate,

Poisoned, his blood in the Sacred Scyphe.

ANNOT.

This seemeth to foretel the finding out of the Sepulcher of some famous Roman, and that the next day after a Pope shall be Elected, who being not well approved of by the Conclave, shall be poisoned in the Chalice, which is the Communion Cup that the Roman Catholicks use at Mass, signified here by the Latine word Scyphus.
