by Nostradamus

LXV.

French.

A tenir fort par fureur contraindra,

Tout cœur trembler, Langon advent terrible,

Le coup de pied mille pieds te rendra,

Girond. Garon. ne furent plus horribles.

English.

He shall by fury compel them to hold out,

Every heart shall tremble, Langon shall have a terrible event,

The kick shall return to thee a thousand kicks,

Girond. Garon. are no more horrid.

ANNOT.

The two last Verses seem to have a relation to the foregoing Stanza, and to import, that the Governour of Bourdeaux shall compel them to hold out, and because Langon, a Town 20 or 30 Miles distant from Bourdeaux, was of the contrary party, and did annoy sometimes those of Bourdeaux, it is threatned here to have a thousand kicks for one.

Gironde and Garonne are the two Rivers of Bourdeaux.
