by Nostradamus

LXXXVII.

French.

Mort conspirée viendra en plein effet,

Charge donnée & voyage de mort,

Esleu, crée, receus, par siens desfait,

Sang d’innocence devant soy par remort.

English.

A conspired death shall come to an effect,

Charge given, and a journey of death,

Elected, created, received, by his own defeated,

Blood of Innocency before him by remorse.

ANNOT.

There is no mistical sense in this, and the words are plain, although of a crabbid construction.
