by Nostradamus

LXXX.

French.

De la sixiesme claire splendeur Celeste,

Viendra Tonnerre si fort en la Bourgongne,

Puis naistra monstre de treshideuse beste,

Mars, Avril, May, Juin, grand charpin & rogne.

English.

From the sixth bright Cœlestial splendour,

Shall come very great Lightning in Burgundy,

After that shall be born a Monster of a most hideous beast,

In March, April, May, June shall be great quarelling and muttering.

ANNOT.

The first Verse is of a most dark and abstruse sense, in which I confess my ignorance, unless he meant from the sixth of the seven Planets, the rest is plain enough.
