by Nostradamus

LXXVI.

French.

D’un nom farouche tel proferé sera.

Que les trois Sœurs auront Fato le nom,

Puis grand peuple par langue & fait dira,

Plus que nul autre aura bruit & renom.

English.

By a wild name one shall be called

So that the three Sisters shall have the name of Fato,

Afterwards a great people by Tongue and Deeds, shall say,

He shall have fame and renown more than any other.

ANNOT.

By the three Sisters, he meaneth the three Destinies, viz. Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos, which the Poets have fained to Spin every mans destiny, which he calleth here Fato, from the Latin word Fatum. The rest may be interpreted as well by the Reader, as by my self.
