by Nostradamus

LXXXIV.

French.

Lune obscurie aux profondes tenebres,

Son frere passe de couleur ferrugine,

Le grand caché long temps soubs les tenebres,

Tiedera Fer dans la Pluie sanguine.

English.

The Moon shall be darkned in the deepest darkness,

Her brother shall pass being of a ferrugineous colour,

The great one long hidden under darkness,

Shall make his Iron lukewarm in the bloody Rain.

ANNOT.

This signifieth, that when the Moon shall be totally Eclipsed in the night, and that all the next day her Brother the Sun shall be seen of a ferrugineous, (that is an Iron like colour) then shall a great one that was hidden arise, and do great feats of Arms with the death of many men.
