by Nostradamus

LXXXIV.

French.

Naistre du Gouphre & Cité immesurée,

Nay de parens obscurs & tenebreux:

Qui la puissance du grand Roy reverée,

Voudra destruire par Rouen & Eureux.

English.

One shall be born out of the Gulf and the unmeasurable City,

Born of Parents obscure and dark,

Who by the means of Rouen and Eureux,

Will go about to destroy the power of the great King.

ANNOT.

Without doubt by this Gulf and unmeasured City the Author means Paris, by reason of its greatness, and the multitude of its Inhabitants.
